Stranger in the Alps is the debut studio album by American musician Phoebe Bridgers, released on September 22, 2017 by Dead Oceans.
[3] The album's title is a reference to the edited-for-TV version of the film The Big Lebowski, which changed Walter Sobchak's (John Goodman) line "Do you see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass?"
[5][6] Bridgers signed a recording contract with Dead Oceans in June 2017,[7] and the album was scheduled for release on September 22.
Club gave the album a perfect score, saying, "Stranger in the Alps alchemizes sorrow into redemptive beauty.
"[13] Writing for Pitchfork, Sam Sodomsky said that the album is "a collection of songs about intimacy, documenting how our relationships affect the way we view ourselves and interact with others... Bridgers' voice has a breezy, conversational flutter [that] sounds best when she double-tracks it in layers of light falsetto", rating the album 7.0/10.
