![]() ![]() Then six months later I discovered this chord progression that I was obsessed with, and I just i I finished it in a half hour after that. I wrote a lot of it in January of last year but it wasn’t my was really different, but I liked the ideas. “Smoke Signal” was another song before and I didn’t really like it. Did you find one song that was particularly hard to write? I think if I make time to do it, that’s when I’m productive. It’s really easy to get caught up in my own life or write on the road. I haven’t truly figured it out! But I think it’s really valuable for me to be able to like “go away” and write. So I used to think there was one way of doing things, but it’s cool to learn from people like that that you can just do your thing, and whatever works for you works for you. Then people like Ryan Adams are constantly writing. Like Conor Oberst, who I toured with, he goes through spurts of writing all at once, and then he won’t write anything for like six months. I also have been a little better easier on myself when hearing about other people’s writing process. Phoebe Bridgers: My friend group is really tight knit, and they are totally an inspiration for me.

The album is filled with little one-line gems that are deceivingly simple but so meaningful. The album opens with “Smoke Signals,” a beautiful song with the Twin Peaks Theme-esque riffs and playfully solemn lyrics like “And all of our problems, I'm gonna solve 'em/ With you riding shot-gun, speeding, 'cause fuck the cops.” It’s haunting in a way that makes you want to listen on repeat on a cold morning when everything is quiet and asleep, while the sun begins to warm you up. Earlier this year, Phoebe Bridgers released her captivating new album Stranger In The Alps and it has already become a classic autumn soundtrack. ![]()
