"Supergroups" are inherently disappointing because the whole almost never equates to something greater than the sum of its pop parts, but Boygenius proved exactly the opposite.

Singer/songwriters Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus all had their respective cults before they teamed up to form a Sad Girl supergroup of their own in 2018. The three friends hadn't really planned on joining forces for more than a triple-bill tour, in fact, but their plans to casually record a joint single and maybe a fun cover so they had a couple of new songs to perform onstage together nightly quickly yielded enough material for an entire EP. Boygenius, the mini-album -- a harmonious, folk-y blending of three powerful female voices and distinct songwriting styles -- was subsequently released that October to widespread acclaim and unexpectedly strong sales, elevating all three members to a whole new level of popular notoriety. By the time a full-length Boygenius album, The Record, was released in 2023 the band was headlining amphitheatres and festival stages all over North America. Sometimes "supergroup" isn't a dirty word, after all.

The fifth-anniversary "Revisionist History" ediiton of Boygenius comes pressed on yellow vinyl in a new gatefold jacket with lyrics.
