Phoebe Bridgers

Before the live recording of 'Kyoto' on October 27, 2019, at the Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles, Phoebe Bridgers had just released her acclaimed album 'Punisher' in June 2020. However, at the time of this performance, she was riding high on the success of her debut album, 'Stranger in the Alps,' which had garnered considerable critical praise. This early performance marked a pivotal moment, as she was still emerging in the indie music scene yet already creating a buzz with her lush soundscapes and poignant lyrics. Interestingly, performing as a 'secret guest' added an air of intimacy and serendipity, drawing her fans in and highlighting her connection with the audience. Bridgers's raw emotion paired with the cozy venue makes this live rendition particularly special, capturing the essence of an artist on the cusp of wider recognition.
