Phoebe Bridgers has announced a new EP featuring re-workings of tracks from her latest album ‘Punisher’ – listen to a new version of ‘Kyoto’ below.

Bridgers released her acclaimed second record, the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Stranger In The Alps’, back in June.

The announcement comes after Bridgers discussed the difficulties of not touring this year due to the coronavirus crisis. “I didn’t realise how much I relied on people screaming at me every night,” she explained. “It’s just super-weird. I feel like I don’t exist. Which is the best problem possible to have in 2020.”

She added: “And I’m also super-grateful that I did anything, that I released this album. Late-stage capitalism at its best. I feel like I don’t exist unless I make stuff and get to talk about it.”

In a five-star review of ‘Punisher’, NME wrote: “The LA songwriter’s ability to paint this lingering feeling of dread so vividly is perhaps the biggest factor in her rapid rise to cultish indie household name; just look at the state of the world right now.”
