Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker were the musical guests on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night (April 21), performing their Boygenius track ‘Not Strong Enough’.
The trio – comprising Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus – released the 14-minute The Film today (March 31) alongside their debut studio album, ‘The Record’. It comes after Stewart was touted to direct three of the band’s music videos.
Kristen Stewart will direct three upcoming music videos for indie supergroup Boygenius – the trio of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker.
On their own, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus are three accomplished singer-songwriters. Together, they're a one-of-a-kind band powered by friendship, sick books, and sicker songs
The collaboration was revealed in a recent Rolling Stone story compiling outtakes from the magazine’s recent interview with the trio. Stewart’s previous credits as a director include a video for a live, reworked version of Chrvches‘ ‘Down Side of Me’ that was released in 2017. NME reports
While it’s not clear which songs from the band’s upcoming debut album ‘The Record’ Stewart will direct videos for, they did simultaneously release three singles from it – ‘$20’, ‘Emily I’m Sorry’ and ‘True Blue’ – last week.
‘The Record’ is set to arrive on March 31 via Polydor/Interscope. It will mark the trio’s first full-length project, following on from self-titled 2018 EP. In a five-star review of that EP, NME called it “a record that leaves you yearning for more”, adding that it “would be astonishing regardless of the length of time it took to make, but it becomes even more so when you learn these songs were created in a matter of days”.
Stewart featured on the Rolling Stones' acclaimed blues record (Blue & Lonesome) in 2017.
Speaking about working with the iconic British rockers, Kristen revealed it didn't take much for her to come onboard with the unique musical project.She said: 'It didn't take much more than a few words to get me amped on the idea. The Stones.'A 65 mustang. Alone in Los Angeles. And the shoot was just as dreamy as the idea. We tore LA apart in a day and we had one hell of a sound track.'The exclusive snippet comes as the band are set to release their first studio album in 10 years on Friday.
