Coffee Break: Boygenius Universe
by Jill Riley and Nilufer Arsala
October 24, 2025

Sunday marks the anniversary of the debut, self-titled EP from supergroup boygenius. It took only four days for the team-up of Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus to record the project, which was released on October 26, 2018.
Since then, the group released their debut studio album, The Record, which won three Grammys and a BRIT Award, and a second EP called The Rest before going on hiatus to work on other projects.
The band mates have expanded their reach to include solo records, new partnerships, artist production and more. Today, let’s celebrate the first boygenius EP by taking a look at the group’s expanded reach.
