boygenius – BoyGenius EP (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
When three of indie rock's most emotionally precise voices decided to make music together in 2018, the result wasn't a compromise between styles but something that sounded inevitable. Baker's austere intensity, Bridgers' haunted intimacy, and Dacus' grounded storytelling push against and reinforce each other across six tracks, each songwriter taking a lead while the others fill space in ways that feel less like collaboration and more like conversation.
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 tours and performances together, and chance encounters that led to friendships – including Bridgers’ and Dacus’ first in-person meeting backstage at a Philadelphia festival, greenroom hangouts that felt instantly comfortable and compatible, a couple of long email chains and even a secret handshake between Baker and Dacus – the lyrically and musically arresting singer-songwriters and kindred spirits got to know each other on their own terms.
