About Punisher

Punisher dropped on June 18, 2020, a day early - it was meant to come out on Juneteenth. The title is an homage to Elliott Smith: she pictured herself as the overbearing superfan, the "punisher." She recorded it in 2018 and 2019, mostly at Sound City in Van Nuys, with Berg, Gruska and Bridgers producing.

Kyoto was written on her first trip to Japan, about her complicated relationship with her father and impostor syndrome, and the video has her in the skeleton costume you've seen everywhere. I Know the End is the epic: she called it a "big metal song," it ends with a scream, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus sing on it, and the video finishes at the LA Coliseum. Vulture named it the best song of 2020, and she played it for Tiny Desk from a fake Oval Office. Savior Complex is a waltz she wrote in a dream, with a video directed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Graceland Too is bluegrass-flavoured, and its title refers to an abandoned Elvis shrine.

The Copycat Killer re-recordings with Rob Moose are switched off in the full sort, but they're on this page, so with them it's 15 songs, about two minutes. Rank them on their own in Copycat Killer.
