THE REST
by boygenius
The American indie super trio of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus brought a variety of pace and sentiment to theirbut their follow-up EP, is a quieter take. Serving as a deluxe edition dedicated to their impressive story-telling skills, the four songs follow complex, often melancholic, relationships with others or, in some cases, themselves. As one member takes the lead of a certain song, the others support the individual’s proclamations as loyal friends do, sometimes with ethereal hums and harmonies. beginning sees Baker describing a moment of a cigarette on the porch at night, before the group lists the details of a person they don’t want to miss, “White teeth, black light, white tee, brown eyes / Bad boy, big fight, you’re a good guy.”
