Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus announce joint EP as Boygenius

The trio will also tour the US together later this year

Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus have joined forces to form a supergroup called Boygenius and will release their debut EP later this year.

The band came together after the three musicians booked a tour of the US together and decided to record a 7-inch to sell at their shows.

In a press release, Bridgers explained: “When we got together, we had way more songs than we expected and worked so well together, that we decided to make a full EP.”

‘Boygenius’ will feature six tracks, three of which have been released today (August 21). Each artist brought one song and one idea to the recording sessions, which they then worked on together.

You can listen to Bridgers’ ‘Me & My Dog’, Dacus’ ‘Bite The Hand’, and Baker’s ‘Stay Down’ below.

The full EP will be available on November 9 via Matador Records. The tracklist for the EP is as follows:

‘Bite The Hand’
‘Me & My Dog’

‘Souvenir’
‘Stay Down’
‘Salt In The Wound’
‘Ketchum, ID’

Bridgers spoke to NME after her first ever European show at Norway’s Øya Festival earlier this month, where she discussed her recent performance with Mumford & Sons.

“I had never met them before,” she said. “They were playing with Maggie Rogers and Mavis Staples and were just like ‘we’re going to do a song at the end of the festival’, and then I get there and they’re like ‘oh, do you know this Radiohead song?’

“I’m like ‘Erm, yeah – I think I know that band’. It was a really crazy day. Going from having never met them before to having a million cameras in my face filming a half-assed rehearsal, it was surreal.”
