FEMUSINDO.com - Boygenius is an American indie rock supergroup consisting of American singer-songwriters Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus.
Bridgers called the formation of the group "kind of an accident," with each member simply being a fan of each other's work and then becoming friends.
Both Dacus and Bridgers had opened for Baker on separate tours in 2016, and they were all in the same environment as young, rising stars exploring the indie scene.
The three became close and shared their frustrations with being constantly compared to each other as "women in rock" despite their very different musical styles.
Debuting and Instant Success
They debuted with an EP of the same name in 2018, and then returned after a hiatus with their first studio album, The Record (2023).
The debut album was an immediate critical and commercial success, winning three Grammy Awards and a Brit Award for the members.
Labeled an "instant classic" by NME, the album topped the charts in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands and peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200.
Boygenius released their second EP, The Rest, featuring four new songs on 13 October 2023.
The group received seven nominations at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year, and ultimately won three, including Best Alternative Music Album. (*)
