CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR THE RECORD:
“...everything the trio of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus have put out related to their debut studio album this year has sounded casually definitive” - Billboard “The 50 Best Albums Of 2023 So Far”
“...a world-beatingly great band, with three of the most brilliant singer-songwriters in the game.” - Rolling Stone “The Best Albums of 2023 So Far”
“the record is the sound of a few of the sharpest pens doing devastating work over a batch of the
catchiest tunes of their careers” - Vulture “The Best Albums of 2023 (So Far)”
“...the only album of 2023 that feels like a lawfully wedded union of the Breeders and Crosby, Stills and Nash.” - Variety “The 20 Best Albums of the Year (So Far)”
20 SEPTEMBER 2023 (TORONTO, ON) — Rock trio boygenius, (Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus) have released an animated video for “Cool About It,” a lead single off their critically acclaimed album the record which dropped on March 31st of this year. The video, which is the first animated video directed by Lauren Tsai, details the relationship between a dog and a dog toy through intricate visuals and beautifully crafted animation.
Of the video’s creation, Tsai says: “Cool About It” is a beautifully melancholic and piercing song that puts words to feelings often unexplained. It is an absolute dream to collaborate with the genius that is boygenius. I made animated videos on YouTube when I was 11 and I cannot imagine something I’d lose my mind over more if I could go back in time and tell myself. I will always be grateful to the band for the many ways in which their work has affected my life.”
