Phoebe Bridgers: Lost Weekend review – long-awaited return is a thrilling, daring study in dislocation

Phoebe Bridgers has released Lost Weekend, her first solo album in six years following the success of Punisher. The record, issued via Dead Oceans, utilises electronics and unsettling sound design to examine emotional turmoil and dislocation. Bridgers addresses personal themes, including her broken engagement to Paul Mescal. This return follows a commercially triumphant period, highlighted by the mainstream success of the supergroup Boygenius, formed alongside Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker after her previous Grammy wins.
