Phoebe Bridgers surprise-releases her second album with the message 'abolish the police'
It's a big week for music!
Neil Young dropped his "lost" album, Homegrown, on Wednesday. Nobel Prize laureate Bob Dylan's first album of new music in eight years is out tomorrow. And on Thursday, Phoebe Bridgers surprise-released her sophomore album, Punisher, early by 15 hours. "I'm not pushing the record until things go back to 'normal' because I don't think they should," she wrote in a Twitter post announcing that the album is now available. "Here it is a little early. Abolish the police. Hope you like it."
The LP features collaborations with Conor Oberst, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner, her Boygenius bandmates Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, and many others. Rolling Stone describes it as a "visionary emo-folk album" and you can listen here.
