Watch Phoebe Bridgers reunite with Boygenius bandmates for Lance Oppenheim-directed acoustic performance

Phoebe Bridgers has reunited with her Boygenius bandmates for a short, ethereal acoustic performance, directed by Lance Oppenheim. Check it out below.

1. Piss: a punk band unflinching about the brutal toll of misogyny.
2. Fontaines D.C. – ‘Dopamine Chamber’ review: a doom-ridden escape from the band of the decade.
3. After fighting to enter her film director era, Hayley Kiyoko isn’t done calling the shots.

The performance came as part of A24’s Sound Check At Cherry Lane Theatre series, which sees musicians host brief, intimate performances in collaboration with a renowned director.

Para Bridgers, o set veio enquanto ela está atualmente embarcando em sua ‘Lost Tour’ pela América do Norte em celebração ao seu novo álbum solo ‘Lost Weekend’, e também vem depois de sua estreia no primeiro longa‑metragem de grande escala ao lado de Robert Pattinson em Primetime.

For her appearance at the Sound Check At Cherry Lane Theatre, she opened the three-song set with the song ‘On Video’ which she recorded for the film’s soundtrack, and she was joined by longtime collaborator Ethan Gruska on the piano for the stripped-back rendition.

From there, she brought out Boygenius bandmates Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus to help perform her songs ‘Haunted’ and ‘Lost Boys’ – and their stunning vocal harmonies add a new level of depth to Bridgers’ tracks.

A colaboração com Dacus e Baker surgiu logo depois que Bridgers os trouxe para sua turnê solo, quando se apresentou em Nova York no final do mês passado. Lá, eles tocaram músicas, incluindo ‘Not Strong Enough’ e ‘Powers’, mas não há gravação desse momento online devido à política sem telefone que a cantora implementou nesta turnê.

Their last televised collaboration before then was in 2023, when the trio made an appearance on Saturday Night Live.

Bridgers’ tour dates kicked off in Indiana on September 15, and has so far seen her play live in Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Michigan and more over the past couple of weeks.

The US tour kicked off after Bridgers played a small handful of acoustic shows in recent weeks, including a last-minute set at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

She also played two small, phone-free concerts at London’s Union Chapel in August to celebrate her 32nd birthday, and had been due to play three further stops in Kingston, Brighton and Bristol this week, but those shows had to be cancelled due to her hospitalisation.

Since then, the songwriter has announced rescheduled dates for her intimate UK shows and celebrated her first solo Number One album from hospital.

No próximo mês, ela dará início às datas no UK e na Irlanda, antes de concluir a turnê com sete shows pela Europa. Visite aqui para comprar ingressos.

NME gave ‘Lost Weekend’ five stars, describing it as “the opposite of emotional evasion: more a reckoning with herself and the romantic and familial love and loss that have shaped her story and storytelling”.

As well as starring in Primetime, Bridgers has also appeared in a short film made by Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst.

As for Boygenius, Dacus and Baker also collaborated with Bridgers on ‘Lost Weekend’, and dropped their last album ‘The Record’ in 2023 before taking a hiatus.
