Punisher

Product Information

On the album’s epic, freewheeling closer, “I Know The End,” Bridgers orchestrates wails and horns, drums and electric guitar into a sumptuous doomsday swirl, culminating in her own final whispered roar. Hopefully it’ll come out with a deep clean, but knowing the reputation around Dead Oceans pressings, I’m not holding my breath. If someone doesn’t like his music, I actually feel like I’m not going to agree with them about anything,” she mentioned earlier this year. The album's first single, "Garden Song", was released on February 26, 2020, [18] with its follow-up, "Kyoto", seeing release on April 9 of that year.

And I guess that I’m terrified that when I hang out with Patti Smith or whatever that I’ll become that for people. The album has a score of 90 out of 100 on Metacritic, indicating "universal acclaim", based on 31 reviews. The packaging is great and it comes with a really cool booklet full of beautiful illustrations, which is the main reason I bought this on vinyl haha. The song examines her longtime love for Elliott Smith, with Bridgers imagining a conversation between them in which she would be the punisher, given her intense devotion to his music. Dead silent, no pops or crackles right out of the packaging, with just a quick brush of an anti-static brush.

This impulse toward the candid, the multi-dimensional, has also come to define the sound of Bridgers’ music. The blue and red color scheme, with the black and gray shadows, is not only gorgeous, but it's symbolic of the tone of the music, being a dark, melancholy album, yet with a hit of heartbroken romance and tranquility. the TTL pressing sounded so phenomenal that i expected future pressings to use that same plate, but this doesn’t sound all that great. Accompanied by banjo and fiddle and her Boygenius bandmates, Bridgers sings about a woman re-entering a world that feels unfamiliar, full of horror and possibility. The LP was scheduled for release on June 19 [19]—or Juneteenth, the official end of slavery in the U.

Punisher’s first single, “ Garden Song,” is a marvel not only for how seamlessly its lyrics bind fantasies and nightmares, burning houses and blooming flowers, but also for how each element of its slyly psychedelic arrangement travels along with her words. Bridgers considered its illustrious past "not a big selling point" for her [11] but conceded it to be a "magical place".

In a press release, Bridgers used the words "crying" and the feeling of numbness to describe its contents. Bridgers also used a new recording technique on “Punisher” that she picked up from musical engineer Joseph Lorge.
