Black Vinyl LP

This is Dead Oceans' standard black vinyl edition of Punisher, catalog number DOC200, issued in the US on June 19, 2020. It plays at 33 1/3 RPM on a single disc. The center labels call the two sides "this side" and "that side," with six songs on the first and five on the second. Phoebe Bridgers' own store lists a 24-page illustrated lyric booklet and a digital download card with the black LP.

Punisher is her second studio album, following her 2017 debut Stranger in the Alps on the same label. She recorded it in stretches from mid-2018 through late 2019, mostly at Sound City in Van Nuys, California, producing with Tony Berg and Ethan Gruska, the team behind Stranger. The liner notes credit more than two dozen musicians, among them Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, Christian Lee Hutson, Conor Oberst, Blake Mills and Jim Keltner. Mills, then an artist-in-residence at Sound City, plays on three songs, and Keltner appears twice. Mike Mogis mixed the record at ARC Studios in Omaha, and it was mastered at Gateway Mastering in Portland, Maine.

Most of the songs were recorded in the order they run. The instrumental "DVD Menu" opens side one and leads straight into "Garden Song," the lead single, released February 26, 2020. "Kyoto" and "ICU" followed before the album came out, and "I Know the End" and "Savior Complex" came after. In the title track, Bridgers pictures herself as a "punisher," an overeager superfan, cornering her hero Elliott Smith. Oberst sings the second half of "Halloween." The skeleton suit on the cover became the album's visual signature, worn on late-night television and in three of its four music videos.

The album was scheduled for June 19, Juneteenth, but Bridgers put it out on digital services a day early and asked fans to donate to racial justice organizations.
