<a href="/tags/phoebe-bridgers">Phoebe Bridgers</a> delivered the television debut of ‘Lost Boys’ with an unexpected backing band made up of young musicians. The performance arrived ahead of her third solo album ‘Lost Weekend’, due on 14 August, and turned the song’s mixture of melancholy and fantasy into something unexpectedly communal.
Bridgers has often built her work around isolation, damaged relationships and the sensation of standing emotionally outside the room, so surrounding her with children gave the performance a striking new visual and emotional dimension.
The recorded version of ‘Lost Boys’ includes contributions from Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, Alex G, Jack Antonoff and others, making it one of the most collaborative introductions to the new album. Bridgers will follow the release with an arena tour across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe. Her music has travelled an unusual distance from hushed indie venues to giant rooms without losing its close-up emotional detail. The young backing band also appeared impressively calm, which is remarkable considering most adults would become temporarily unable to operate a tambourine after being placed beside <a href="/tags/phoebe-bridgers">Phoebe Bridgers</a> on national television.
