      Most of Phoebe's singles also have the same ghosts painted over kids. I think they're childhood photos of hers (she shared the original photo of the album cover on her Instagram last September). Anyway, definitely check her out! She's amazing!

    Spent high school back in the early/mid aughts hooked on listening to Bright Eyes, my main pastime then. I love Conor and really enjoy Phoebe Bridger's music. I'm wedged in the middle of their respective generations so it's a really refreshing listen. I never thought I'd have an interest in seeing Conor perform again, but this may be it. High school never dies.
