#13 | PHOEBE BRIDGERS | Punisher
Dead Oceans | Official Store

According to Jeremy Levine: “While I can’t say I was prepared for Punisher to ask as much of me as it did, I’m still moved by it, unsettled by it, and captivated by it. I want to turn it inside-out for the next three years, just like I did with Stranger in the Alps. And if that needs to be hard, well, I guess everyone’s in a place in life where they’re staring at the night sky a lot.”
