boygenius - the record

[Blond]

The line "I can feel myself becoming someone only you could want" in Emily I'm Sorry hit a bit too hard.

According to the article, Kristen Stewart is directing three music videos for boygenius omg!!

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

I cannot overstate how happy I am about their return!

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

When do I get to swoon with my lighter to “True Blue?”

 

[xOJakeXo]

I hate that this album is two months away. I've had to slap my own wrist to resist overplaying these three songs.

 

[borneoman]

Actually it's not that bad, most pre-album campaigns these days last minimum 6 months, sometimes even 1 year, so 3 months is the shortest I've seen in ages!

They've got competition

Seems there’s a working presale for the Halifax date already.

For both shows I think, they sent emails with the password to all subscribers

New single is out



Bit more of a country vibe

 

[xOJakeXo]

This is so fucking good. The music video giving 90s alt Much Music (my friend's observation) and the fact that it's a true blend of all three. The first 3 songs felt like each of their hands on the wheel, this is all of them driving.

 

[.Beautiful.Disaster.]

Oh wow I love this! I enjoyed the first 3 songs but this feels next level.

 

[RJF]

New song is a 10/10. Am I annoying now?

 

[borneoman]

New song is an 11/10!!! Everything is amazing, the melody, the lyrics, that video!

 

[pedroleum]

The new song is a proper instant classic. Just, wow.

If I'm allowed one (1) complaint about the songs that have been released so far, it would be that I wish they were longer? Both this and True Blue have outros that feel like they were cut short - these ooh oohs in the latter are too good to not be repeated at least once. Let me live in the universe of the song for just more 30 seconds plz

Fair critique for sure. I think "$20" has the most fleshed out outro, but wouldn't mind "Not Strong Enough" and "True Blue" going longer. For the former, I would love to hear the "Go home alone" line again, maybe with a melodic variation.

Otherwise? Girls I am playing these songs more than some full albums released this year. I can't believe the album is only a few weeks away. Every element of these songs feels engineered in a lab to make me hit play again - the harmonies, the specific lyrics, the layered guitars, the melancholia. All four songs we've heard are fantastic and I tremble at what awaits us on the full the record.

This is incredible. Lucy's part at around 3:10 gives me goosebumps.

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

Was trying to avoid this and save it for the album but gave in to watch the video and hearing Lucy at the end had me emotional
