Many Bridges, None Too Far

Am I the only one slightly confused by the existence of both Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Phoebe Bridgers? Or, very possibly, I’m just old. Anyway, the two-named Phoebe with a bridge, not to be confused with the three-name Phoebe with a bridge (who, to make things more confusing, actually directed one of the two-named Phoebe’s music videos - but not today’s video), appears to be this era’s darling indie singer of sensitive songs. Which works for me because the bisexual singer-songwriter is quite good at making moody songs sabout the end of the world sound haunting and lovely and cathartic all at the same time. Plus, whoever that lady is at the end sure lucked out. And, you know, the other way around too. Get it, ladies. Happy Monday, kittens.

Wait so Phoebe Bridgers are not Waller-Bridge’s fandom? You know, like Directioners or Beliebers?

I ran across this band Boygenius that Phoebe Bridgets was in in 2018 on a YouTube wormhole and have been furiously appreciating then for months. What I like about this collaboration, is that they are all individual touring musicians, including Julien Baker and Lucy Darcy’s. They each brought two unfinished songs, and the whole process was egalitarian as they helped each other complete them. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vogue.com/article/boygenius-oral-history-lucy-dacus-phoebe-bridgers-julien-baker/amp
