On the first day you hear “Lost Boys,” it lands like a chorus you didn’t know you’d been waiting for—something immediate, sing-along friendly, and built to pull you back. Phoebe Bridgers has released the track as the first single from her highly anticipated third album, Lost Weekend.
“Lost Boys” is also a reset point: it’s Bridgers’ first new solo music in four years. following April 2022’s “Sidelines.” The song arrives with a medieval-themed music video co-directed by Lance Oppenheim and Pablo Rochat. In the video. Bridgers stars alongside Skyler Gisondo. turning the single into a full visual world—not just a release. but an event.
Behind the scenes, the credits read like an answer key for what fans have been speculating about Lost Weekend.

Bridgers’ boygenius bandmates Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus step in with backing vocals. stitching her wider musical universe into the record’s opening move.
The roster doesn’t stop at familiar faces. Christian Lee Hutson plays acoustic guitar, Will Maclellan handles drum programming, and Blake Mills appears on synths. Rob Moos contributes strings; Caroline Shaw adds vocals. Sebastian Steinberg is on upright bass. Chris Thile on mandolin. Marshall Vore on drums. Nate Walcott on trumpets. and Harrison Whitford on electric guitar.
All of it points toward a bigger return: Lost Weekend, the follow-up to 2020’s Punisher, is due August 14 via Dead Oceans. Bridgers previously marked the run-up with a series of US pop-up shows that culminated in a sold-out performance at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Medieval music video??? So basically Game of Thrones but make it sad girl indie?
Just saw this on my feed and I’m confused like… is this a new album or just a song dropping. The title says Lost Weekend but also “Lost Boys” so which one is the thing?? Either way I guess it’s gonna be stuck in my head.
I mean the credits list like 900 musicians so it’s probably gonna slap. Also I read “reset point” and thought she was resetting her whole career or something, like maybe she was done for real? But no it’s just a single before the album lol. Can’t believe it’s been 4 years either. I’m late but I’m excited.
Everyone keeps saying “sing-along friendly” but Phoebe Bridgers songs are never really sing-along, it’s more like staring at the wall while feeling something. Plus the video being medieval is giving gimmick to me, like why not just normal clothes. Also I saw Jack Antonoff and instantly assumed this was gonna sound like every other producer ever, but I’ll check it anyway I guess. August 14 right? I’ll remember… maybe.
