Phoebe Bridgers - 2017 - Stranger in the Alps (Deluxe Edition) @320
Back in 2015, when Phoebe Bridgers released her Ryan Adams-produced debut single via his PAX-AM label, she cut a contradictory figure, and two years on, the arrival of her first full-length does little to quell that idea. She grew up in Pasadena, cites Los Angeles as an inextricable part of her songwriting fabric and has apparently never wanted for support from family and friends, so you could be forgiven for expecting a considerably less melancholy affair than ‘Stranger in the Alps’. The key is in her influences - Joni Mitchell, Elliott Smith and Conor Oberst all hang heavy over the record throughout.
Phoebe has already toured quite a bit with Conor, often joining him to provide backing vocals on Bright Eyes classic ‘Lua’; listening to the measured wistfulness of ‘Stranger in the Alps’, it’s difficult not to imagine her teenage years being defined by bands like them, as well as Death Cab for Cutie and Rilo Kiley. Perhaps the most relevant point of comparison in terms of tourmates, though, is one of her contemporaries, Julien Baker. Imagine Julien’s ‘Sprained Ankle’ had she swapped out the sparseness for lush soundscapes and you’ve got a pretty close approximation of what Phoebe has pulled off on this LP; she’s similarly confessional and contemplative, but sees the value in more polished production.
That’s not to say that she throws the proverbial sink at the record, though. The strings on the quietly devastating ‘Funeral’ roll away subtly in the background, just as they do on standout ‘Scott Street’. ‘Motion Sickness’ and ‘Chelsea’ are both nuanced and intelligent in their use of electric guitar, and when she experiments a little - see the downtempo electronic flourishes on ‘Georgia’, as well as its programmed percussion track - it tends to come off. ‘Stranger in the Alps’ is as accomplished a solo debut as you’ll hear all year - a quietly devastating listen worthy of Phoebe Bridgers’ obvious influences.

On The Spotlight Kid, Captain Beefheart took over full production duties. Rather than returning to the artistic aggro of Trout Mask/Decals days, Spotlight takes things lower and looser, with a lot of typical Beefheart fun crawling around in weird, strange ways. Consider the ominous opening cut "I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby" -- it isn't just the title and Beefheart's breathy growl, but Rockette Morton's purring bass, Zoot Horn Rollo's snarling guitar, Ed Marimba's brisk fade on the cymbals again and again, and more. The overall atmosphere is definitely relaxed and fun, maybe one step up from a jam. Marimba's vibes and other percussion work -- including, of course, the marimba itself -- stand out quite a bit here as a result, perhaps, brought out from behind the drums and the more straightforward work on Clear Spot. Consider "When It Blows Its Stacks," with its unexpected breaks into more playful parts, or "Alice in Blunderland"'s admittedly more aimless approach, but vibing along well nonetheless. Sometimes things do sound maybe just a little too blasé, but Beefheart at his worst still has something more than most groups at their best. Spotlight does have one stone-cold Beefheart classic -- "Grow Fins," an understated number with fine harmonica and a brilliant lyric about getting so tired of his woman that the best option is to take to the sea and fall in love with a mermaid. Another song, though, does have an all-time great title -- "There Ain't No Santa Claus on the Evenin' Stage." Definite fun touch -- the cover photo of Beefheart looking great in a classic Nudie suit, outlined in yellow light to boot. (IsrBox)
* Another that's been waiting to be posted from my to post folder, their second album, make sense to post the two albums on the same day *
* OK I knew I had the 2CD version of this but I couldn't find it, but while clean in an external HD, I found it hiding in the wrong folder. Well as CD1 is the same as what I shared in the link, I will add a second link to the post for CD2. Some times these thing happen!! was in the folder next to the Earl Brutus folder within the E folder. Well you now have the double CD version from 2016 *
