A new Phoebe Bridgers era is imminent. Nearly six years after her sophomore album Punisher, she's popped back on the radar to perform shows in Roswell, NM and then Lubbock, TX. Now more new clues about the hopefully forthcoming follow-up have emerged via photos from a now deactivated link from Bridgers' publisher Blue Raincoat Music, which had "pblp3studioharrisonwhitford" in the URL. The photos capture Bridgers in the studio with a bunch of musician pals including Matty Healy, Alex G, Jack Anotonoff, and beau Bo Burnham.

If guitarist Harrison Whitford was the photographer, documenting the making of PB3, that would make sense. He recorded on Punisher and has been a part of Bridgers' touring band. He has also photographed her and boygenius over the years. Fans have done some sleuthing, and are presuming that the photos were taken late last year given Bridgers' darker hair and Healy's mohawk.

It's exciting to think that all the people in the photos were apart of whatever Bridgers has cooking, especially since most of them have already worked together. Bridgers, in 2018, covered Alex G's "Powerful Man." A couple years later, Bridgers worked with Healy for the 1975's Notes On A Conditional Form. Then, a couple years after that, Bridgers (along with boygenius' Lucy Dacus) performed with Healy, Antonoff, Christian Lee Hutson, and many others at the Ally Coalition Talent Show. Hutson (who has joined her on guitar at this weekend's pop-up shows) was also seen in these newly released photos, as well as Antonoff-affiliated recording engineer Laura Sisk, and Punisher producer Tony Berg. Let the speculation begin.
