Artists Like Phoebe Bridgers You Should Already Be Listening To

If you threw a rock at our blog, you’d probably hit an article that mentions Phoebe Bridgers. Maybe it’s her atmospheric production, her sometimes devastating lyrical content, or how often artists mention her as an influence, but we keep circling back to her. At a certain point, you start to wonder who else exists in that orbit. Here are a few artists like Phoebe Bridgers that we think you’ll enjoy:

Benni – “Make Me Blind” 

First up, from Belgium, singer-songwriter Benni gave us “Make Me Blind.” Press play and it carries you away on a dreamy breeze of sound, built on the slow sway of an arrangement with a thick, late-1960s sheen, warm, melodic bass, and ghostly slide guitar. Like Bridgers, Benni leans into restraint, letting the emotion speak for itself. 

Eden J Howells – “everything you touch”

If you thrive on raw feeling, you should already be listening to London-based Eden J Howells. We had the pleasure of featuring the single “everything you touch,” and it has remained in steady rotation. It’s a tender, vintage-leaning track that carries echoes of Bridgers, settling into an intimate, emotionally driven space.

Emma Campbell – “Lights Go Out”

Toronto-based Emma Campbell gave us “Lights Go Out,” a tune fueled by a deeply honest sense of longing. Beneath its polished surface, there’s a vulnerability that aligns closely with the same emotional pull Bridgers is known for, where tenderness and control carry just as much weight as the melody.

Juliana Madrid – “Big Plans”

It’s hard to top Texas-based Juliana Madrid’s “Big Plans.” Built on a foundation of lo-fi guitar, the tune expands into a full indie pop arrangement, anchored by a confident vocal that lands somewhere between Soccer Mommy and Phoebe Bridgers. With delicate harmonies and a retro-leaning charm, “Big Plans” eases into an emotionally resonant space.

Hounds – “sky king”

Oslo-based Hounds delivered “sky king,” a melancholic slice of indie folk that leans into cinematic textures and gentle nostalgia. Led by a delicately plucked acoustic guitar and swells of ambience, the track creates a lush, immersive soundscape. It’s a subtle, harmony-rich performance that we keep coming back to.

What ties these artists together isn’t just sound, but intention. Like Phoebe Bridgers, they prioritize mood, authenticity, and restraint over flashy production and mainstream appeal. The result is music that stays with you, the kind you come back to when you actually want to feel something.
