A day after officially announcing her much-anticipated album Lost Weekend, Phoebe Bridgers dropped the album’s first single, “Lost Boys” on Thursday, along with an accompanying music video.
Bridgers’ boygenius bandmates Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker provide vocals on the song, while she co-produced “Lost Boys” with her longtime collaborators Tony Berg and Ethan Gruska, as well as with Jack Antonoff.
The music video, directed by Lance Oppenheim andPablo Rochat, opens with Bridgers in a renaissance fair outfit, sitting in the backseat of a motorcycle as an armored knight drives. “The lost boys never grow up, never get old,” Bridgers sings in the song’s chorus. “Lost boys find me.”
Lost Weekend, set for release on Aug. 14, marks Bridgers’ first solo album since her lauded 2020 record Punisher. She certainly hasn’t been on hiatus since then though, reaching further career highs with boygenius and their 2023 album The Record, which won three Grammys.
With Lost Weekend on the way, Bridgers is embarking on a phones-free arena tour this year as well. She started her newest album era with a slate of surprise shows in smaller markets across the U.S., eventually playing a pop-up show at Madison Square Garden this month too. The American leg of the tour will begin in Indianapolis in September and wrap in Los Angeles in November. She’ll play shows in Euro[e and the U.K. from November through December.
Beyond her music, Bridgers is also set to make her big-screen debut this year as well, co-starring alongside Robert Pattinson in the A24 film Primetime.
