the record [Clear LP]

Release Date: March 31, 2023

boygenius released 'the record' in 2023, combining Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker's distinct voices into harmonized indie rock songs that move between intimate folk arrangements and fuller band moments. The album captures three accomplished songwriters sharing vocal duties across tracks that feel both personal and expansive, with lyrics that examine friendship, growth, and creative collaboration.

Standout Tracks

• $20: Opens with urgent drums and intertwining vocals that set the collaborative tone
• Not Strong Enough: Each member takes a verse before joining in soaring harmonies on the chorus
• We're In Love: A tender closer built around acoustic guitar and three-part harmonies

Mood: introspective, driving, melancholic, cathartic
