Stranger in the Alps
, she’s turning her attention to her follow-up record, which she’s currently working on in L.A. “I'm just writing and taking a step back from everything to see what it all looks like,” she says. In the past, that process of finding out what her work is about has continued well into the promotional cycle for the album, long after a given song has been written and recorded. Time is a construct, etc etc.
“A lot of people wait five years put up the next record. I don't think that's going to happen, but I invented this pressure to put on myself, to put something out soon and make it great, when it should just be great and I should just feel good about it. Why would you rush to put something out?” she asks. “There is nothing more useless than an album that you don't feel strongly about, out in the world.
It’s hard to imagine a useless Phoebe Bridgers album, since the idea of “feeling strongly” is an inadvertently good descriptor of what her music communicates, and what it’s like to listen to it. On early songs likeand “Scott Street,” she uses extremely specific details — transcripts of conversations, dollar amounts spent on a hypnotherapist — that combined with her whispery falsetto and folky arrangements create a closeness with the listener, like a friend sharing her frustrations.
In the meantime, she’s calming any lingering anxiety about the timing of what’s next by imagining worst-case scenarios. “Worst case scenario is that I go into the studio to record a bunch of songs and then six months later I'm like, ‘Oh my God, I hate it!’” Phoebe says. “So I trash it. And then I do it again.”
