The self-titled EP boygenius, released on October 26, 2018, introduced the world to the supergroup formed by Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus.

The production is intimate yet expansive, letting the lyrics and melodies take center stage.
boygenius explores themes of heartbreak, independence, and the complexities of relationships, with a striking honesty that resonates deeply. The EP was met with critical acclaim upon release, hailed as a triumph of artistry and chemistry.
