Stranger In The Alps

Product Information

In the two short years since, Bridgers has toured or played with Conor Oberst, Julien Baker, City And Colour, Violent Femmes, Mitski, Television and Blake Babies among others. From the weeping strings and ‘Twin Peaks’ twangs of opening track ‘Smoke Signals’, to the simple heartbreak of ‘Funeral’ and melancholic crescendo of ‘Scott Street’, ‘Stranger In The Alps’ is a swooningly beautiful record with a gothic heart. The session blossomed into the three song ‘Killer’ EP, released to much acclaim on Adams’s Pax Am label in 2015.

By age 20, she’d caught the ear of Ryan Adams, who listened to her perform her song ‘Killer’ in his LA studio, inviting her to come back and record it there the next day. Beautiful pressing, but I also experienced the same surface noise on the opening tracks of both sides of the record.I’m not sure how often I will want to listen to this record, but I am sure that I want it in my collection. Nearly identical to Stranger In The Alps, but this version has track B6 printed on the rear artwork.

Throughout her full-length debut, Bridgers contemplates and reflects on personal experiences through her unique lyric writing perspective: there are overt references to lost idols, canonical pop songs and actual incidents, but her stories unfold through specific, evocative imagery sung in her subtle, confessional style. In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. Not super noticeable during the songs, but in between songs there is a lot of surface noise and crackles.
