Boygenius' 'The Record': A Guide to Making Your Life Better with Sad Music
TL;DR Summary
The trio of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus, collectively known as boygenius, have released their debut album, which features references to literature and authors that have influenced their music. The album's lyrics are often funny and operate at a slight removal, noticing the inherent ridiculousness of society. The group's name, "boygenius," is a deftly chosen moniker that reflects their ethos of preserving what a patriarchy would rather see diminished. The album includes references to Joan Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem and Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, among others.
