Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus are boygenius. Although only in their late twenties, all three of them can already look back on highly successful solo careers. Now, five years after their self-titled debut EP, they have released their debut album "the record" and even though the title was probably chosen with a humorous intention, it can be taken seriously indeed: This is not some record - it is already a classic.
Emma and Mia Kemppainen took the long road to their new record, but in the end Sad Bangers dancing steps through burnout and bleakness makes it their most rewarding album yet. NBHAP editor Austin Maloney had a conversation with them about it.
