  • boygenius: 6 Music Artists of the Year 2023.
    boygenius have been named one of BBC Radio 6 Music's Artists of the Year. This special accolade celebrates success stories of 2023 and tips the stars for 2024. The list showcases both legends and breaking artists, illustrating a diverse selection of acts from a range of genres who have been championed across our daytime and specialist shows.
    boygenius are Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker & Lucy Dacus. The indie supergroup have had a hugely successful year with their debut album ‘The Record’ garnering 5* reviews across the board, it went on to chart at no 1 in the UK album charts. A sold out run of UK shows including headlining Gunnersbury Park and 2 Piece Hall dates in Halifax, as well as landmark US shows at Madison Square Gardens and the Hollywood Bowl. They also worked with Kristen Stewart who directed a short film with them. We’re thrilled that the band recorded an exclusive live set for us when they were over in the UK.

    they really said: “how are we going to make this song sadder than it already is” and then pulled out acoustic guitars

      Julien has the most versatile voice of the 3 of them I think, but both Lucy and Phoebe have singing voices with a lot of character and individuality, meaning there are contexts where each of them are best suited which is so cool.

    I got chills when Julien screamed sang the last "Always An Angel, Never A God" and the hairs on my head stood up all the way through the last verse until the song ended. The boys always sing with conviction but the end of this performance was even more.

    Couldn’t appreciate each of these talented musicians more as solo artists. But, when they commune, collaborate, perform together it is at a measure of such meaningful excellence I have trouble explaining, expressing, but not celebrating! I am often accused of being a lyrics snob, but well phrased words are a passion of mine and too often go overlooked. I also have several talented guitarists in my family. So, superb lyricism, and excellent guitar skills, are 2 areas high on my list of priorities for those considered best Musical Artists. These guys have it ALL and more in spades! Their abilities to harmonize w/each other so beautifully is just musical icing for the genius cake! Any official recognition they receive is beyond well deserved!🎉

    Black hole opened in the kitchen
    Every clock's a different time
    It would only take the energy to fix it
    I don't know why I am
    The way I am, not strong enough to be your man
    I try, I can't stop staring at the ceiling fan and
    Spinning out about things that haven't happened
    Breathing in and out
    Drag racing through the canyon
    Singing "Boys Don't Cry"
    Do you see us getting scraped up off the pavement?
    I don't know why I am
    The way I am, not strong enough to be your man
    I lie, I am just lowering your expectations
    Half a mind that keeps the other second guessing
    Close my eyes and count
    Always an angel, never a god
    Always an angel, never a god
    Always an angel, never a god
    Always an angel, never a god
    Always an angel, never a god
    Always an angel, never a god
    Always an angel, never a god
    Always an angel, never a god
    Always an angel, never a god
    Always an angel, never a god
    Always an angel, never a god
    Always an angel, never a god
    I don't know why I am the way I am
    There's something in the static, I think I've been having revelations
    Comin' to, in the front seat, nearly empty
    Skip the exit to our old street and go home
