Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus have come together yet again as indie all-girl band, "boy genius," and released their new EP, "the rest."

Boygenius creates an EP of passionate, perceptive poetry

By Kinsey Burr, Staff Writer October 18, 2023
The theme of misguided passion and convoluted hindsight bleeds into the following track, “Voyager,” where Bridgers returns to the moon — a spiritual place in her mind she often references in her music that represents solace and loyalty. In this melodious track Bridgers looks back on a past relationship where the lines between passion and performance fade when she sings, “But I used to believe no one could love you like I do (Mmm) / And I’m startin’ to think that it might be impossible not to (Mmm).” These lyrics could have two conflicting meanings; either Bridgers still feels deeply and irrevocably connected to this person, or their bond was surface level and hindsight has proven its insignificance.
