Description:

Phoebe Bridgers is coming to Japan! Nominated for 4 Grammy Awards & Best Album of the Year. The Japan tour edition of "Punisher", Corona Disaster's most acclaimed album of 2020, is now available. Love is a huge influence in our lives, personalities, and priorities, but Phoebe Bridgers hasn't written that many love songs. Punisher, her fourth release and second solo album, is concerned with this theme. To say that she writes songs about heartbreak is to tout her sad wisdom. To say that she writes songs about pain would be to erase all the slightly odd joys of her music. With the release of Punisher, she has become one of the smartest, softest, and most prolific songwriters of our time; Bridgers is that rare artist with a sense of humor who doesn't mind having her popularity dismantled in an instant.The New Yorker, The New York Times, GQ, Pitchfork, The Fader, The Los Angeles Times, and many others have raved about her, while she herself remains impassive in her meditation on the humiliating process of being a person She is more interested in discussing it on Twitter. She presents a lovely and interesting flip side to the surprisingly sad songs she writes. Bridgers' unique talent lies in her ability to bring intense curiosity to the uncomfortable and painful. They will push it until they find an answer, beautiful or absurd, or until they can dutifully report the reality that there is no such answer. Punisher was written and recorded during the summer of 2018 and fall of 2019.The work was done with Tony Berg and Ethan Gruska, collaborators on "Stranger In The Alps," who also co-produced the Boygenius EP and the BetterOblivion Community Center album. Bridgers himself also took on the role of co-producer for the album. The album features longtime bandmates Marshall Vore (Dr.), Harrison Whitford (G), Emily Retsas (B), Nick White (Key), Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, Christian LeeHutson Conor Oberst, Nathaniel Walcott (Bright Eyes), Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Jenny LeeLindberg (Warpaint), Blake Mills and Jim Keltner. The album was mixed by Mike Mogis, who also produced "Stranger In The Alps".
