Stranger in the Alps is the debut studio album by American musician Phoebe Bridgers, released by Dead Oceans in September 2017 and was produced by Tony Berg and Ethan Gruska.
Bridgers recorded the album in between tours over 2016 at Berg's studio in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
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?" to "Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
Bridgers opted to use the phrase because she found it to be "kind of poetic on accident".
