Listen to Phoebe Bridgers' New Album 'Lost Weekend'

"Times are scary." Incontestably one of the major musical event releases of 2026, Lost Weekend is the first new solo album in six years from Phoebe Bridgers. The US songwriting superstar has maintained a relatively low profile since her Grammy-winning 2023 collaborative album The Record with Boygenius — her trio with peers Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus — but patient fans aren’t left short-shrifted by the artist's substantial sixteen track offering, premiered in independent record stores across Aotearoa last night.

While co-producer Jack Antonoff's involvement may spark trepidation amongst Lorde fans (critical consensus has yet to settle on Solar Power), Lost Weekend feels like a masterful and unmistakable return for the critically lauded songwriter, who dedicated the album to her father who passed in 2023. Pondering relationships and grief, while weaving lush textures both rustic and futuristic, Lost Weekend precisely balances haunting intimacy and epic sweep — featuring a murderers row of contributors including Alex G, Bridgers' Boygenius bandmates, Cameron Winter, Justin Broadrick (Godflesh), her Better Oblivion Community Center partner Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), and many more.

Phoebe Bridgers is embarking on a massive US tour with fellow traveller Alex G starting from today, then venturing onwards to the UK and EU. Make a wish for local dates and enter the universe of Lost Weekend, out today in good record stores via Dead Oceans...
