"The Record" by Boygenius The internet's favorite indie girls welcome you into the brilliant, colorful world of Boygenius, again.
Cohesion within the group sneaks up on you like a shadow in the night. The album is soft, brutal and a reflection of a cruel, unrelenting world full of fatalistic imagery, but the love they've discovered in each other and in the music they craft together saves and reignites them. "Not Strong Enough" is an uptempo, guitar-heavy, folksy song focused on self-hatred and loathing where Baker's softness shines. She croons contemplating death:"Drag racing through the canyon/Singing 'Boys Don't Cry'/Do you see us getting scraped up off the pavement?"
An ultimate rock jam riddled with electric guitar and drums, the witty"Satanist" forces the group to ponder philosophical questions and if they're deal breakers. Dacus asks confidently,"Will you be a nihilist with me?/If nothing matters/That's a relief to me."
