I think a lot of her inflections here are very Punisher-esque. A lot of this sounds like Phoebe playing her hand at various folk icons...Elliott Smith, S&G, etc.

I've probably heard 7 folk albums this week is more like it ;-)



This isn't a "oh she's a girl, so must compare to Phoebe" thing, I just legit think they have some vocal similarities

My issue isn't with Sowing it's with the overwhelming amount of people online comparing this to Punisher despite not being that similar at all

You def have a point that people seem to default to Phoebe comparisons whenever a girl wields a guitar

I'm surely guilty of it myself at times

I do think it proves just how much of a scene leader Bridgers has become, though

I mean maybe not in her sound but she's definitely a unique songwriter/lyricist

I wash Zinnias went a little harder/got a little grander or something of that sort, think something like Dermatillomania by Laura Stevenson.

still a really good track, i love her delivery

i don't follow her too closely but it she seems like she is transparent about having connections and uses her platform pretty well so that's cool in my book. feel bad that she gets vitriol about it which seems to be affecting her

as someone who follows her she's one of the very few artists at her level who comes across as a genuinely kind-hearted and harmless person so it sucks that she gets so much shit from nerds online

She named her dog after her so it's safe to say there's bound to be some influence, intentional or not

Reading some of these comments and I have to wonder if we really listened to the same album? This is so much more creative and unique than Immunity
