It's been a big week for boygenius, the singer-songwriter supergroup of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus. On Sunday, the band won its first three Grammys: best rock song and best rock performance for the single Not Strong Enough, and best alternative album for its full-length debut, The Record. But last Friday, during a Los Angeles concert, boygenius also announced that the group was going on hiatus.
Is it weird to say I wasn't mad about this news? No disrespect to boygenius, but I'm also a fan of the solo music made by all three artists, and I'd been wondering when, say, we'd be getting a follow-up to Bridgers's 2020 breakout album, Punisher, which is nearing its fourth birthday.
Although all three artists share a subgenre (lyrically vivid, passionately sung indie-rock), each also has a distinct personality and sonic sensibility that comes through in their solo music.
