April 9, 2020 Phoebe Bridgers announces new LP ‘Punisher’, shares new single “Kyoto”

Phoebe Bridgers shares the Nina Ljeti-directed CGI video for new song “Kyoto“, from her forthcoming sophomore record Punisher, coming June 19th on Dead Oceans. Bridgers says this about the track:

“This song is about impostor syndrome. About being in Japan for the first time, somewhere I’ve always wanted to go, and playing my music to people who want to hear it, feeling like I’m living someone else’s life. I dissociate when bad things happen to me, but also when good things happen. It can feel like I’m performing what I think I’m supposed to be like. I wrote this one as a ballad first, but at that point I was so sick of recording slow songs, it turned into this.”
