"Every song on 'The Record' might not knock you on your ass, but the cumulative effect is really something" - Stereogum points out in their Premature Evaluation of Boygenius' debut album. They probably don't like being called a "supergroup", and certainly, Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus "sound less like three individual solo artists working together, more like one cohesive whole." Pitchfork gave it 8.2 grade, tagged it Best new music saying how each author "amplifies the other’s songwriting, enriches the detail, and heightens the emotion."

Indie-rock supergroup boygenius - the trio of Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus - performed at the baggage claim area at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, upon arriving in the city for their SXSW set, Stereogum reports. In two weeks, they’ll release their debut album 'The Record'.

In the latest episode of Song Exploder, singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus tells the story of her song 'Thumbs' from the her new album 'Home Video'. It's about her making company to a friend meeting an away-father. It's really an emotive story, and intriguing insight into the making-process of a song.

"A song is a static thing, one that will outlast a memory even after it’s fully disintegrated. On 'Home Video', Dacus sounds intent on recapturing a moment that’s already gone" - Stereogum reviews the new album by the indie singer-songwriter. Pitchfork hears her suggesting - "write your own moral code... write your own worldly music". "Her wise brand of rock music blooms into something even more palpable, relatable and beautifully messy" - Paste Magazine insists.

"Maybe I do think that we're all headed towards doom, but it's not personal. You can also have fun. The benevolence of the black hole is just like, celebrate when you can and find warmth, comradery, solace, and cope how you must on our journey into the dark. Also, on a personal level, everybody dies" - singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus says in Them interview about here incoming solo album 'Home Video'. She explains - "whenever I get [in that apocalyptic mindset], I'm like, 'Wait, wait, wait, how useful is this?' Some days it feels useful to think about the future of mankind, and then other days I'm like, 'Man, I'm just a girl. I don't need to think about this'. Am I going to spend three hours spiraling about this or could I go outside and live the life that I would hypothetically like to protect?". She also talks about her "internalized homophobia", queerness, being brought up in a Christian family, and her boygenius bandmates Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker.
