Despite the individual song writing powers exhibited time and again by its three members, nobody could’ve predicted the year boygenius has had since releasing their debut record “the record” back in March. In addition to the increasingly stadium-filling—and increasingly antic-filled—tours Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus have embarked on, one member has now been featured on two separate LPs by The National in 2023, one was briefly enlisted by Turnstile, and the other has directly addressed former President Obama as a war criminal when he listed “Not Strong Enough” on his summer playlist.
The trio are hitting the road for one last set of headlining shows alongside pals like MUNA, Sloppy Jane, and Palehound. Before then, though, they’ve shared an animated music video for their song “Cool About It” is a beautifully melancholic and piercing song that puts words to feelings often unexplained,
the video’s director Lauren Tsai shared. “It is an absolute dream to collaborate with the genius that is boygenius. I made animated videos on YouTube when I was 11 and I cannot imagine something I’d lose my mind over more if I could go back in time and tell myself.”
