Boygenius have announced their debut album.
The indie supergroup —Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus — will release 'The Record' through Interscope/Polydor on March 31.
Following up their 2018 debut EP, it marks the trio's first full-length released under the collective moniker, and was self-produced at Rick Rubin's Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, California. As a preview, check out three new songs below. $20, Emily I'm Sorry, and True Blue, are each written and sung by a different member.
The rocking $20 is led by Baker and strikes a more upbeat chord than your average Boygenius track, while Emily I'm Sorry is a melancholic, Bridgers-led cut. True Blue, meanwhile, offers some typically excellent lyrics from Dacus. Each song has its creator's own hallmarks, while showing off some tender harmonies.
News of 'The Record' follows a series of solo LPs from each band member. Bridgers put out 'Punisher' in 2020, Baker dropped 'Little Oblivions' in 2021, with Dacus releasing 'Home Video' that same year. They all appeared eachothers' projects.
Boygenius were recently confirmed as part of the 2023 Coachella line-up. Bridgers, meanwhile, has headline shows and festival appearances lined up in Australia and New Zealand, along with US dates supporting Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour.
