Incredibly promising artist Phoebe Bridgers’ Smoke Signals remains our Best Song of 2017 (So Far). High praise given the superb music released this year by the likes of Broken Social Scene, Feist, The National and a host of other stalwarts.  Bridgers has now announced that her debut album will be entitled Stranger In The Alps and will be released in September on Dead Oceans. Bridgers also released new song Motion Sickness, and it is another well-wrought winner about a losing proposition. Check out this beauty below (lyrics at bottom).  You can pre-order Stranger In The Alps HERE.

Motion Sickness:

“I hate you for what you did
and I miss you like a little kid
I faked it every time but that’s alright
I can hardly feel anything
I hardly feel anything at all

You gave me fifteen hundred
to see your hypnotherapist
I only went one time
you let it slide
fell on hard times a year ago
was hoping you would let it go and you did

I have emotional motion sickness
somebody roll the windows down
There are no words in the English language
I could scream to drown you out

I’m on the outside looking through
You’re throwing rocks around your room
and while you’re bleeding on your back in the glass
I’ll be glad that I made it out
and sorry that it all went down like it did

I have emotional motion sickness
somebody roll the windows down
There are no words in the English language
I could scream to drown you out

And why do you sing with an English accent
I guess it’s too late to change it now
You know I’m never gonna let you have it
but I will try to drown you out

You said when you met me you were bored
You said when you met me you were bored
And you you were in a band when I was born

I have emotional motion sickness
I try to stay clean and live without
and I want to know what would happen
If I surrender to the sound

Surrender to the sound”
