Available now. Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus formed boygenius after booking a tour together, but the trio had subconsciously been in the works for longer than that. Through a series of performances, chance encounters, and greenroom hangouts, the group felt an instant compatibility and comfort. The lyrically and musically arresting singer-songwriters and kindred spirits got to know each other on their own terms, producing their first EP along the way. With gut-wrenchingly personal yet easily relatable verses and spare, lilting melodic arrangements, all three are leading a new rock vanguard that values unflinching self-awareness and unassailable songcraft. Praise for "boygenius": 8.3/10 - Pitchfork (BNM), 8/10 - Exclaim!, 8.8/10 - Paste.
December 8 street date. Originally released October 26, 2018, the "boygenius" EP marked Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus' debut as a trio. In the half-decade since, a lot has happened: a debut LP, magazine covers, a world tour, along with sold-out gigs at MSG and the Hollywood Bowl. And that's not even getting into the three iconic solo albums that dropped in the interim, "Little Oblivions", "Punisher", and "Home Video". Today, though, we celebrate these six songs, which were recorded at Los Angeles' storied Sound City studios. Pitchfork named the EP "Best New Music", calling it "a blueprint for how to do a super-group right" (8.3/10). Now, "boygenius" returns to us in a limited edition yellow vinyl revisionist history pressing with a brand new gatefold sleeve with lyrics.
