She and bassist Anna Butterss (who has wonderful backing vocals) wore black suits with ties, which was cool and was nicely set off by their very blonde hair (Phoebe explained that her hair has been many different colors over the years and she likes this one). But she had a whole band (and how awesome is that drum head logo for a folk singer?). It’s not an accent (she doesn’t have one when she speaks), but it’s the way she enunciates certain vowels….maybe.Īnyway, I assumed that it would be her with her guitar. There’s something about her delivery/enunciation that I don’t understand. I find her voice to be very beautiful but also a little peculiar. There are no words in the English language Then I heard “Motion Sickness” and I completely loved it. But I found the pacing kind of slow and the song felt really long. The lyrics were great (referencing Motorhead and David Bowie) and I really liked the melody. I loved the sound of the song (it’s so Twin Peaks). In fact the first song I heard from her, “Smoke Signals” was an interesting litmus test for me. Phoebe Bridgers isn’t really someone I should like–she sings slow, kinda depressing songs. The opener for that show was Soccer Mommy, who I’d still like to see (although Angelica Garcia was terrific). But how exciting that she came back to the area just a few months later! En route to the show I got really sick and had to bail. I was supposed to see Phoebe Bridgers back in February at World Cafe Live.
