On November 27, 2017, Phoebe Bridgers performed at the NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert, marking a significant moment in her burgeoning career. At this time, she had just released her debut studio album, "Stranger in the Alps," in September of the same year. This album was critically acclaimed and established her as a unique voice in indie folk music, featuring deeply personal and introspective lyrics. During the Tiny Desk performance, Bridgers showcased her talent with compelling storytelling, touching on themes of vulnerability and existential angst, which resonate throughout her work. An interesting aspect of this period is her collaboration with other artists, such as conjoining forces with musician Conor Oberst in the duo Better Oblivion Community Center shortly after, further highlighting her growing prominence in the indie music scene.
