Boygenius (stylized in all lowercase) is an American indie rock supergroup[1][2][3][4] consisting of American singer-songwriters Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus.[5][6] They debuted with their self-titled EP in 2018,[7][8][9] and then returned after a hiatus with their debut studio album, The Record (2023), which was both a critical and commercial success, winning the members three Grammy Awards and one Brit Award. Labeled an "instant classic" by NME,[10] it topped the charts in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands, and peaked at number four on the U.S. Billboard 200. Their second EP, The Rest, was released on October 13, 2023.[11] The group is currently on hiatus.[12]
