Dan Reeder Finds Himself Next to Phoebe Bridgers on “Fallon”

- Quirky singer/songwriter adds acoustic guitar/harmony vocals to “Lost Boys”

Dan Reeder has, to paraphrase his “Work Song,” all the fuckin’ work he needs. But full employment didn’t stop him appearing alongside Phoebe Bridgers to lend a hand as Bridgers performed “Lost Boys” on “the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

Seated next to the main attraction, Reeder plucked out a few notes on acoustic guitar and joined in harmony on the chorus as Bridgers presented an unplugged version of her new single.

Lost boys/never grow up/never go home, the pair sing, Bridgers’ cottonmouth drawl and Reeder’s breathy exhalations creating a natural blend.

This was a superior - perhaps the definitive - version of the pop song that announced the Aug. 14 arrival of Bridgers’ Lost Weekend. And if it signals her intention to put more light on Reeder, all the better.

Dragonflies are all over, as the weather gets very hot and very humid.
