A Midnight Ritual – Phoebe Bridgers’ "Lost Weekend" Album Release Party
Midnight at the Record Store: Hear Phoebe Bridgers’ New Album "Lost Weekend" First!
There is an unspoken rule among indie music fans: when Phoebe Bridgers releases a solo record, you prepare to feel everything all at once.
It has been six long years since her sophomore masterpiece Punisher dropped during the isolation of 2020. Since then, she has conquered the world, sweeping the Grammys with her boygenius bandmates, playing stadium tours, and cementing herself as the definitive lyrical voice of a generation. But this summer, Phoebe is returning to the singular, intimate spotlight of her solo work.
Her highly anticipated third studio album, Lost Weekend, officially arrives on Friday, August 14th via Dead Oceans. To welcome this haunting new era, Curious Collections is opening its doors in the dead of night. Join us for a special Midnight Album Release Party spanning the night of Thursday, August 13th into Friday, August 14th!
🎸 Pasadena to the Stratosphere: The Phoebe Bridgers Journey
For anyone tracking the meteoric rise of the Pasadena, California native, Phoebe’s musical path is a masterclass in emotional honesty.
-
The Breakthrough: In 2017, her stunning debut Stranger in the Alps introduced us to her signature style—combining hushed, deceptively gentle folk vocals with deeply incisive, dark, and witty prose ("Motion Sickness").
-
The Masterpiece: 2020's Punisher elevated her to global icon status. Songs like "Kyoto" and the apocalyptic crescendo of "I Know the End" captured a collective existential dread, earning her four Grammy nominations and a massive, deeply dedicated fanbase.
-
The Lost Era: After spending recent years collaborating with everyone from Taylor Swift and SZA to fronting the indie supergroup boygenius, Phoebe quietly began building her next chapter. She teased Lost Weekend with a series of mysterious, phone-free pop-up gigs across small-town America, culminating in a legendary $1 ticket show at Madison Square Garden.
Now, Lost Weekend presents a master songwriter at the absolute absolute peak of her powers. Backed by the hauntingly beautiful lead single "Lost Boys"—which features co-writing and production help from the likes of Jack Antonoff, Ethan Gruska, and Alex G—the 16-track album balances fragile intimacy with towering, stadium-ready sonic landscapes.
