Phoebe Bridgers gets stoned as hell in the video for "Garden Song"
Phoebe Bridgers made a salty splash with the 2017 release of Stranger In The Alps, an immersive and deeply vulnerable collection of guitar-driven folk. Since then, she’s been at the center of two supergroups—Better Oblivion Community Center with Conor Oberst and boygenius with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker—and joined The National’s Matt Berninger to both cameo and debut a new song in Between Two Ferns: The Movie. There hasn’t been a dud in the bunch, and now Bridgers is back with a new solo track, “Garden Song.”
The song comes with a bleary new video from her brother, Jackson Bridgers, who, per a press release, asked his sister stoned and then surprised her with a motley crew of oddballs, one of whom is Tig Notaro in a hood. Bridgers keeps it together during the onslaught, passionately working through the song’s gentle, affecting melody, which coasts along some intricate fingerpicking.
