boygenius secure their first Number 1 album with debut LP the record today.

Boygenius - aka Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker - are on their way to their first-ever UK Number 1 album this week with The Record.

The BBC has announced a major shake-up of its 6 Music schedule — meaning a Manc music legend will lose his standalone show.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus spent the last few years of interviews generally demurring on when their group, Boygenius, would ever be collectively super again. There’s been a little bit of a Boygenius time-out, of course, since the trio’s fairly spontaneous debut EP came out in 2018 and the release of their first full album as a collective, “The Record,” on March 31. But it hasn’t been for a lack of thought and effort going on behind the scenes, as the waiting world has now learned. As Bridgers says in an interview with Variety, “We realized the other day that we’ve been making this record for longer than we haven’t been, as friends,” since she dates its origin point to the week after she issued her “Punisher” album in 2020.

It’s a three-way race for this week’s Official Number 1 album, with boygenius, Melanie Martinez and DMA’S all hoping to reach the summit on Friday. 

The Record.In it, the singer-songwriters , Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker distill in just under four minutes the whole essence of friendships in your twenties—and they do so without a massive production budget, actors, or a sweeping narrative arc. In fact, the whole thing was filmed on an iPhone in a little over a day. The bandmates took turns filming each other doing "hooligan shit" (Baker's words) around Los Angeles, with stops at the Santa Monica Pier amusement park, an arcade, and a museum. While the concept ("women laughing") may sound contrived, their genuine love for each other transcends the screen, infecting the viewer with secondhand joy.

Here’s something for Kristen Stewart fans as they await her latest films “Love Lies Bleeding” and “Love Me,” andher feature directorial debut, “The Chronology Of Water.” Stewart directs “Boygenius – The Film,” a visual companion to the female supergroups “The Album,” out today.   READ MORE: Kristen Stewart Will Play Susan Sontag In Kirsten Johnson’s Upcoming Meta Documentary, Which Stars Filming At Berlin 2023 The video serves as a triptych music video for three songs of the band’s new album, “$20,” “Emily I’m Sorry,” and “True Blue.” Each song/sequence stars one bandmate in particular.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic A short film that actor-turned-director Kristen Stewart made with the group Boygenius got an official Hollywood sendoff Thursday night at the El Rey Theatre, with a film premiere that also doubled as a launch party for the indie-rock trio’s new album, “The Record.” Stewart did not participate in the Q&A that Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus did with members of the press and public after the screening, but she stepped out to introduce the short film, which is essentially an interlocking combination of music videos for three songs from the new album: “$20,” “Emily I’m Sorry” and “True Blue.” The imagery is sometimes sentimental, sometimes bracing and vivid. Bridgers sings “Emily I’m Sorry” in front of a monster truck rally. Palms are cut for a blood oath. And there is some lip-locking through copious blue paint. The framing device is sweet, though, beginning with one band member sleeping fitfully in bed and waking up at the end embraced in a group cuddle.

boygenius have released their long-awaited debut album, titled The Record, and to accompany it is a short film (The Film). The 15-minute short is directed by Kristen Stewart, best known for her roles in Spencer and Crimes of the Future. The Film essentially stitches together videos for three The Record songs.

Phoebe Bridgers has spoken out after being “bullied” online when on her way to her father’s funeral.The Boygenius guitarist was speaking with her bandmates – Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker – in a new interview when she addressed the harassment she received from supposed “fans”.“I’m coming from a place of literally — I’m feeling it in my body as I’m saying it, but — people with my picture as their Twitter picture, who claim to like my music, fucking bullied me at the airport on the way to my father’s funeral this year,” she told Them.“I, at one of the lowest points of my life, saw people who claim to love me fucking dehumanise me and shame me and fucking bully me on the way to my dad’s wake.”While Bridgers didn’t explain what prompted the negative reaction, the interview does follow a time in January when the musician made headlines after being spotted with comedian Bo Burnham, shortly after her reported split from actor Paul Mescal.The Boygenius star announced the passing of her father with an Instagram post on January 3 – just over a week before the photos of her and Burnham at LAX airport were shared online.A post shared by Phoebe Bridgers (@phoebebridgers)She continued: “If you’re a kid and the internet somehow taught you that that’s an okay thing to do, then of course I hate capitalism and everything that led you to believe that it’s okay to do that.”Elsewhere, she also confirmed that these alleged “fans” were aware of her father’s passing when they made the comments, stating: “A lot of the top comments [were] like, ‘Hey, her dad just died, what are you guys doing?’”Using the interview as a way to speak directly to those who harass others online, she concluded: “I fucking hate you, and I hope you grow the fuck up.”“Most

Boygenius have shared a new short film directed by Kristen Stewart – you can watch it in full below.The trio – comprising Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus – released the 14-minute The Film today (March 31) alongside their debut studio album, ‘The Record’. It comes after Stewart was touted to direct three of the band’s music videos.Containing Boygenius’ first three singles from their LP (‘$20’, ‘Emily I’m Sorry’ and ‘True Blue’), the visuals begin with Dacus humming along to ‘The Record’ opener ‘Without You Without Them’ before Baker wakes up in a red race car bed.Later, Bridgers takes the lead for the ‘Emily I’m Sorry’ part as she sings in a stadium while monster trucks drive around her.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The three women of Boygenius — Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker — have made alluding to their forebears a hallmark of their band. Witness the cover of their first EP in 2018, when they re-created the casual iconography of the debut album sleeve of a prior supergroup — Crosby, Stills & Nash — or when they posed as Nirvana on a recent Rolling Stone cover. On their first full-length album, prosaically titled “The Record,” the references come fast and furious, in song titles or random lines: the Beatles with “Revolution 0,” Sheryl Crow with “Not Strong Enough,” Virginia Woolf with “Letters to an Old Poet,” Joan Didion and the Cure with scattered borrowings or citations, and last but not least, Leonard Cohen with, um, “Leonard Cohen.”
