Albums Of The Year 2023
#1: 'the record'
By: boygenius
Succeeding where other indie-rock supergroups have failed, boygenius' first full-length album 'the record ' skilfully elevates the individual talents of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus to powerful effect, not only delivering only one of the standout albums of 2023, but an instant classic that doesn't disappoint on the hype that followed from their 2018 debut EP.
If you're already a fan, don't miss out on securing the album on one of two limited edition colour vinyl formats, or, if you're discovering the group for the first time (jealous!) then we highly recommend watching "the film", a triptych of interconnected visuals for the tracks '$20', 'Emily I’m Sorry', and 'True Blue'; the perfect intro to both boygenius and our album of the year 2023.
Must hear tracks: 'Not Strong Enough', '$20', 'Cool About It' and 'True Blue'
FFO: Big Thief, MUNA, Noah Kahan, Soccer Mommy, Snail Mail, Gracie Abrams, Lizzy McAlpine, Hozier, The 1975, Mitski...
