Three of America’s indie rock scene’s brightest singer-songwriters join forces in boygenius to give birth to a first album that even goes beyond our expectations. On a strictly musical level, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus do not really innovate, except in their disconcerting combination of folk songs, epic pop-rock and grunge without any of these ingredients prevailing over the other. . It is the obvious complicity of the three musicians that gives heart to the project, this total absence of ego in the process as each one takes advantage of their moment to showcase themselves and, above all, to magnify these superb songs written six hands that we will listen to in a loop. What more ? And there are these texts that flatter us, like this sweet song called Leonard CohenThen Emily I’m Sorrysung by Bridgers: “ Now I’m wide awake, spiraling / And you don’t wanna talk / Just take me back to Montreal / I’ll get a real job, you’ll go back to school / We can burn out in the freezing cold “.
