Phoebe Bridgers has released “On Video,” a song she wrote and performed for the end credits of A24’s thriller Primetime. The track begins softly, builds into distorted guitar, then returns to a quieter close. Set in 2006 and inspired by To Catch a Predator, the film stars Robert Pattinson as journalist Chris Hansen, with Bridgers playing decoy Del Harvey in her first substantial feature-film acting role. The film is now in U.S. theaters.
