In early June of 2018, boygenius practiced and wrote for a day before holing up in Los Angeles' storied Sound City studios. Each band member brought one finished song and one idea to the table, and though all six songs were fleshed out and finalized together, each reflects the sensibilities of its initial author. Baker's slow builds and taut vocals add urgency to 'Souvenir' and 'Stay Down', while album opener 'Bite the Hand' roils with slow-burning layers of guitar as Dacus stands in her devastating truth: 'I can't love you like you want me to'. The Bridgers-architected 'Me & My Dog' chugs into view with a deceptively simple open-road riff and Bridgers' insistent recounting of a relationship that couldn't help but fall apart.
