Though I’m not hugely familiar with Connor “Bright Eyes” Oberst’s work, his melancholy folk feels like a great match for Phoebe Bridgers on their surprise joint LP. The disc’s final track is lonely, but beautiful mope-fest. For four spellbinding minutes, the pair embark on the long trudge to Nowheresville accompanied only by languid, reverb-soaked guitars, a little bit of piano, and, crucially, each-other. It’s unclear whether this duo is built to last, but it’s clear they’ve found solace in one another.
