Punisher, Phoebe Bridgers’ sophomore solo album will drop June 19.
In addition to announcing the album’s release in a statement, Bridgers also dropped a new track and video called “Kyoto.”
“This song is about impostor syndrome. About being in Japan for the first time, somewhere I’ve always wanted to go, and playing my music to people who want to hear it, feeling like I’m living someone else’s life,” Bridgers said of the song. “I dissociate when bad things happen to me, but also when good things happen. It can feel like I’m performing what I think I’m supposed to be like. I wrote this one as a ballad first, but at that point, I was so sick of recording slow songs, it turned into this.”
Punisher follows Bridgers’ debut album, 2017’s Stranger in the Alps.
Watch the clip for “Kyoto” below.
