This episode is a little different. It's a reissue of

Phoebe Bridger's Song Exploder episode from January 2019, along with a brand new segment

where she and I talk about dealing with Writers Block. Phoebe Bridgers is a singer-songwriter from

Los Angeles. In September 2017, she released her debut album, Stranger in the Alps.

One of the breakout songs from that album was Scott Street, a song Phoebe co-wrote with

her drummer, Marshall Vore. Coming up first in this episode, Phoebe and Marshall break down

how that song went from an unfinished cassette recording to an acoustic demo, and then finally

to the album version. And then after you hear Scott Street

in its entirety, Phoebe and I talk about writer's block, what causes it for her and how she's

had to deal with it. That interview is presented by WeTransfer. We Transfer's been at the center

of the creative process for years. They make tools to move ideas, and those tools have helped

me, Phoebe, and countless other musicians and creators.

So stick around after the full song to hear that conversation, and check out how we transfer can help you at ToolsTo Move Ideas.com.
