Nice review!! I stumbled upon Phoebe a few weeks ago and have been listening constantly and had a chance to see her open for Noah Gunderson the other night and she was great live. I'm a huge Elliott Smith fan and she is definitely a female version of Elliott for me.
I listened to a little of the MK/SKM album and the song she covered, but that's all. I can say that didn't appeal to me, but maybe one or the other of their individual projects would. I'll have to try them at some point. Julien Baker seems to be getting a ton of buzz lately, and I know Bridgers is on the road with her. I need to give her a listen as well.
I can see that. Mark Kozelek is one of my favorite songwriters, and his album Benji is widely considered his best and the best point of entry for new listeners so I would recommend that. Julien Baker's first album, "Sprained Ankle", is a very easy and beautiful listen, and her new singles are fantastic, so if you like Phoebe, you might just love Julien! I saw Phoebe and Julien play together in LA last year and their cover of Elliott Smith's "Ballad of Big Nothing" is stunning.
I did listen to Julien Baker today, actually, since you mentioned her before. I definitely see the comparison to Bridgers. I liked it! I'll have to check out the full new album when it comes out. I'll also try to give Kozelek another try soon.

Hey man, great review, I just started getting into Phoebe's music and I agree with a lot of what you said.
She’s great. I love her new album too but haven’t had time to review it here. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I hope to get a chance to see her live someday also.
mark foster that’s crazy! I’m a huge Elliott Smith fan too. A friend introduced Phoebe to me, and she definitely has some Smith aspects to her.
Nobody is more current than Aimee Mann! Nice review.
Thanks for watching!
Are you at all a fan of Mark Kozelek/Sun Kil Moon or Julien Baker?
