Absolutely under-rated. I think if not for her, boygenius wouldn't be nearly as soulful and emotional. Like all of them are super talented, Lucy just adds a ton of depth to their sound.
Julien Baker is awesome, I love watching her talk. She is so articulate and cautious with her words it's fun to watch her mind work. And then she's like "we're just buds making music." Awesome.
I LOVED the Freudian slip moment when she said "an awarness of the kind of dynamic you're *destructing*" instead of *constructing*. It makes sense though, Cheryl was talking about their individuality vs the collaborative work and said they don't sound like their solo work selves in this record, and Julian started talking about the construction of that collaboration but for that to happen somehow they needed to lo 'destruct' their solo dynamic!
Lucy’s verse in Ketchum, ID is one of the most melodically and lyrically beautiful things I’ve heard in music up to this point in my life. So happy to have heard it as such high quality live in this video!
Yeah it was the first song I heard when it played on my spotify radio one time and now I'm a big fan of all of them. I'm especially attached to Phoebe though and I think part of that was hearing her voice first and it just blew me away.
I've loved both Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker from the start. Having them together in a group just makes my heart glad. Didn't know Lucy before boygenius, but I'm glad I know her now.
@@youaintscarman9957 I just think Julien Baker has the most standout voice out of all of them and is great on the guitar. But It's easy to recognize that they're all great.
Ascetic I think Lucy is the greatest of them. Modern incredibly intelligent lyrics, and the music is super. She is also the best singer of them, she dont let her voice leak. (Please dont kill me)
did NOT expect the Dixie Chicks cover, that made my whole life. also Cheryl should just host every show, ugh she's so genuine and wholesome to everyone.
Completely agree about Cheryl. She's just so genuinely happy to have everyone there. It's such a nice change of pace from every wacky DJ trying to be clever and edgy. (KEXP isn't guilty of this no matter who's hosting, just talking about your average everyday radio appearance.)
I can't normally watch live performances. But Julien is so cathartic it's beautiful. There's these moments after Me & My Dog when she just sort of looks at the piano, then up at Phoebe and Lucy, and it's like she's winded. This good kind of winded you see marathon runners get after a race. It's amazing stuff and I love that these moments are captured.
boygenius, I am a death metal vocalist and you guys leave me in tears. You can captivate any walk of life with your music and it is so loved by so many. Never stop!
Every genre of music has a new rising wave of good music resurfacing from the depths of modern crap. These guys, Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlisle for folk/Americana, Greta Van Fleet and the Struts for rock and roll, Midland for pure country, Alabama Shakes for southern rock.
cheryl is the best interviewer and simply creates such a comfortable environment which really comes through. also, I love how happy da boyz are to be there
This is one of KEXP's best, right up there with london Grammar -- just unreal how fantastic the vocals are, the violinist is insane, sheryl is so good in her natural interview style--- what a gem to see this again!!!!!!!! just Killer!!!!!!!
Julien Baker had a very intimate performance in Pittsburgh (under 50 seats) at our station. We are so lucky to experience her up close and personal like that!
KEXP has had countless giants of music perform in their studios. This is possibly the best of the hundreds I've watched. 3 young legends of the game already reaching the highest heights.
this is all 3 of them at their absolute best. julien's voice is so beautiful and grounding. watching 4 years later in anticipation for their debut album release today!
First I discovered Julien Baker, and thought I’d never find anything more amazing.. Boygenius proved me wrong. I’m just blown away by this beautiful, unique and talented group of artists. Absolute power house of musical ability, I’m so grateful to have found this band!
Julien, Phoebe and Lucy remind me of a time when, as a creative person, I worked on a project with a team of other creative people and discovered how truly remarkable (and very uncommon) it is to complete / experience a solution that is better because each member came together and fully trusted one another. The experience that Phoebe speaks of when she walks outta the room is so commonly universal….and destructive and unnecessary.
Every time that I click on something related to Boygenius I feel happy about it. Not for the blind click, but for the feeling that come after. These 3 girls emanates harmony and joy. Glad to be alive and witness it.
In Swedish, we say that something is a conditioner for the soul when it's soothing and just leaves you feeling calm, peaceful and just good overall... this was that. Beautiful set and a great mix of voices
Everyone in this video is such a beautiful soul. There's so much emotion flowing into every word they speak. Thank you to everyone who made this gem of a video possible
0:33 Souvenir 4:34 Cowboy Take Me Away 19:30 Me and My Dog 23:49 Ketchum, ID Thanks for curating this lovely space, Cheryl. It's a wonderful visit everytime.
I have listened to these women either apart or together every single day for the last two years or so since I first discovered their music. This video will keep the streak going.
Man, I love Cheryl Waters. Every time I open up a KEXP video, I hope she's hosting. She's warm and thoughtful, and her kindness/reverence for the artists is infectious.
This is magical. I love how they're timid to admit they have cried on stage with each other after 16 shows. Grown 36y man and I'm crying before 30 mins is over
I'm not a country music fan in the way Dixie Chicks are, so I never even gave them a chance. This cover exposed so much beauty in a song about cowboys. I'll give one of their albums a listen soon because of you three. Thank you! This collab is legendary.
Once an American man was visiting Japan and toured one of the famous rock gardens where he began expounding upon all the hidden meanings of the place - the rocks relationship to the sand, the colors, etc. A Japanese man listening in stopped him, saying: "Sir in all your analysis you miss the point. It is beautiful." These three, you can spend hours figuring out the why of it and miss the point. There is this tremendous beauty, and vulnerability here. They have found a special place and are sharing it. It's heavenly.
Cheryl Waters IS the best! And it is so extremely joyful to watch boygenius perform live in the studio. Their cover of Cowboy Take Me Away is classic and gorgeous.
Cheryl Waters is the best. Just 100% wholesome.
she actually has a really dark past, look into it
@@hellakooked Too funny - of course. Perhaps she's trying to give back?
all I found out is she used to be a girl scout. that is like the least dark past possible. @@hellakooked
I see she's a breast cancer survivor!!
@@karlmoore6354 yeah, I did some googling absolutely nothing lol
Lucy's voice sounds like a warm, loving, hug

Jupiter in Sagittarius.... Awesome
Julien Baker: *sings one note*
Me: *uncontrollable crying*
Try not looking at her, see if that helps.

@@ohnename5882 you're listening to a dixie chicks cover song...how ironic.
@@dvsn23 I can handle it

They even say NO with beautiful harmony 14:49
I'm a simple man. I see Julien Baker belting in a thumbnail, I click.

Yeah, she's incredible

Simple girl here. Same.

There's some magic, indescribable quality to her voice that just tugs at my heart.
Totally agree
Yeah, those oooos were something else man.
I love the way Julien talks, her language is so intentional and I could listen the her talk forever.
When all three of them harmonise, it is absolutely angelic. Goosebumps every time.
About every 8 hours I start shaking, sweating and need to listen to Me and My Dog.
Yeah it was the first song I heard when it played on my spotify radio one time and now I'm a big fan of all of them. I'm especially attached to Phoebe though and I think part of that was hearing her voice first and it just blew me away.

WHOLE LIFE! Chicks forever
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I agree with the ugh
Their cover of Cowboy Take Me Away was just incredible...
17:20 Phoebe that "Guys being dudes" reference didn't go ignored; I hear you, I see you
We all see it and know that she is powerful for confronting what has happened to her, for all humans to know.
I CACKLED!!!!!!!!!
may I be enlightened
I enjoyed it so damn much when she said that, hilarious :)
Nate I’m pretty sure she was just making reference to a Vine

Her ankles are sprained :D
@@PyroFortune was just about to say this haha!
when you discover the grateful dead one day you are in for real treat
Who told you that you're not allowed to listen to live performances?
Why can’t you watch live performances? Damn, I’d die if I couldn’t-90% of what I watch/listen to is live.
I love Julien's little grin at the beginning of Cowboy Take Me Away, like "yes this is the song you think it is" .

thank you 🫶
boygenius, I am a death metal vocalist and you guys leave me in tears. You can captivate any walk of life with your music and it is so loved by so many. Never stop!
lul death metal vocalist. So you growl into a pitch shifted mic?
Um.....
No.
Glad to see my fellow metalheads here, getting down on this here fine music.
@@ltgreatsocks1 Yeah man, I love my black and death metal, I can like this too.
@@tomsarrels8980 you do eat children though?
I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say these women are the future of music today. Absolutely incredible music.

@@Yallboots Not Greta Van Fleet. They're just a Led Zeppelin wannabe. If they were original, I'd agree, but they're not.
This comment aged perfectly ☺️
Julien’s giggle is the most precious thing 🥹🥹
i’m so impressed how lucy especially is able to stay on pitch. they all have such distinctive voices
cheryl is the best interviewer and simply creates such a comfortable environment which really comes through. also, I love how happy da boyz are to be there
their voices compliment each other in a way that is so indescribably beautiful
a serious well done to the audio engineers here. without you guys this would not be so damn crisp and perfect
14:49 even their "no"s are in beautiful harmony
Lucy sounds incredible here I'm forever obsessed with her voice
Ketchum ID is maybe one of the most beautiful songs written .. brings tears to my eyes every time.
Julien is the most talented singer/songwriter of her generation, and so modest.
They're all so attractive wtf
@Dope Cat why did you watch then if you're just so disgusted by them
@Dope Cat I wonder how you came to those conclusions 😂
Dope Cat spot on analysis. Actually the one could use a husband buying her a Peloton for Christmas.
@Dope Cat You have the joker for a profile pic I highly doubt you have a relationship with anyone
What a shallow comment thread.
Cheryl Waters is a national treasure, she seems like the sweetest person
Camille KILLING that violin tho!
A relevation to be sure!!
I agree 100%. I swear she played with Sarah Jaffee. I believe it was the song Clementine
@@thompegg3100 revelation* lol
Yes!
@@sidolanters1394 basically, its news to me
Julien is so goddamn articulate.
my English is pretty good but I think I just learned about 20 new words 😂
@@sidolanters1394 Read some boooooks!
boygenius is wonderful. The world is better with them in it.
Where has this been hidden for all these years???? THIS IS GOLD. Pure beauty. OH MY. AND THE VIOLIN AND THEIR VOICES. WHAT A GIFT.
You don't hear people harmonize this good everyday.
THEY MADE CHERYL CRY
This is one of KEXP's best, right up there with london Grammar -- just unreal how fantastic the vocals are, the violinist is insane, sheryl is so good in her natural interview style--- what a gem to see this again!!!!!!!! just Killer!!!!!!!
I don't think I've ever heard a group with every member being so articulate and intelligent. Love listening to them just talk about their art!
This is the happiest I've ever seen Julien
Julien Baker had a very intimate performance in Pittsburgh (under 50 seats) at our station. We are so lucky to experience her up close and personal like that!
Lucy’s voice on Cowboy take me home HOLY MOLY. pure frisson
i think im in love with Julien baker. I’ve never seen a more adorable person in my life I want to marry her omg
I've been thinking this forever lol I'm gonna see her live this year and I'm gonna cry 🤠🥺
Same. I think watching this KEXP live sessions from boygenius, London Grammar or Hælos is not good for my mental health. 😯
I woke up yesterday with Cowboy Take Me Away stuck in my head and I can only assume it's the universe foreshadowing me finding this
KEXP has had countless giants of music perform in their studios. This is possibly the best of the hundreds I've watched. 3 young legends of the game already reaching the highest heights.
Love you Cheryl! You are the epitome of professionalism. Wish only continued success and an ever-enduring career
this is all 3 of them at their absolute best. julien's voice is so beautiful and grounding. watching 4 years later in anticipation for their debut album release today!
Now their album is getting nominated for six grammys. They've come so far.

They are all three beautiful artists individually. Together, it is pure magic! I'm so glad they chose to form this group, and hope it lasts
These ladies are too good! Julien, please stop making me cry.
In Swedish, we say that something is a conditioner for the soul when it's soothing and just leaves you feeling calm, peaceful and just good overall... this was that. Beautiful set and a great mix of voices
What are some other examples of conditioner for the soul.
If you have not yet figured that out.. go buy yourself some conditioner
Everyone in this video is such a beautiful soul. There's so much emotion flowing into every word they speak. Thank you to everyone who made this gem of a video possible

I have listened to these women either apart or together every single day for the last two years or so since I first discovered their music. This video will keep the streak going.
The first 3 singles were a solid part of my soundtrack for a trip to San Francisco... Will always hold a special place for me..
Man, I love Cheryl Waters. Every time I open up a KEXP video, I hope she's hosting. She's warm and thoughtful, and her kindness/reverence for the artists is infectious.
Mighty fine singin', playin', and sound recordin'. Yes indeed!
So youtube waited almost 18 months before deciding to show this video to me? better late than never I guess. They make beautiful music together.
That harmonization at 3:04 that they repeated sold me on this instantly.
I thought only Townes van Zandt could make me cry but souvenir killed me from the first note, this version is absolutely perfect. I luv u three.
This is magical. I love how they're timid to admit they have cried on stage with each other after 16 shows. Grown 36y man and I'm crying before 30 mins is over

the harmonies on M&MD are among the more beautiful things you can hear
I'm coming back to this video more than I thought I would
I still get chills every time I hear this. They are so incredibly perfect together.
Euphoric: I'm ashamed at how long it took me to find this session; but oh boy, this made MY stars align!
Absolutely incredible music, harmonies. Everything. I hope these 3 stick together for a while 😊 Lucy’s voice is so deep and amazing.
Découvertes à Rock en Seine 2023 super groupe belles voix belle musique, quel Talent!
Love this. They have such a rich, classic sound. Cheryl makes me smile. Crew just making it look and sound fresh to def.....
OMG I'm tearing up at these harmonies, this is so beautiful.
The engineering at KEXP is always on a completely different level. Really super sound~

There are over 300 comments and, maybe somebody has already addressed this, but has the violinist been credited? She’s simply a master.
I'm not sure if they credit her, but her name is Camille Faulkner
Cheryl Waters acknowledges Camile Faulkner at 9:07
This was just amazing, the chemistry between the girls is amazing
At the end of the last song ("Ketchum, ID") I started clapping. Then I remembered I was watching and listening on RUclips by myself with headphones.
Cheryl Waters IS the best! And it is so extremely joyful to watch boygenius perform live in the studio. Their cover of Cowboy Take Me Away is classic and gorgeous.
Come here every so often just to get absolutely SHREDDED emotionally
Wow, they're all so great and PB is just absolutely the most impossibly beautiful woman alive!
Gotta love that ending to Me & My Dog; a wistful look, a sigh, and a nod.
my absolute favourite girls. the cover of cowboy take me away has me SOBBING. i would sell my soul to see them live again
So good! Such an underrated violinist but understandable in a room so full of talent!
Julien is such a precious bean, I didn't expect that.❤
Oh my gosh. I was just about in tears near the end of Souvenir. This is perfect.
Definitely my fav KEXP of all time - w o w. And absoLutely nOt a "manufactured, formulaic endeavor" ~ thank you boygenius
Boygenius makes me cry for all the right reasons and the voices give me the best tingles. I'm mad I didn't find them earlier.
gosh I almost forgot what the good shit sounds like. Thanks girls..mad respect here.
each of them is incredible artistically and as a human being. i feel privileged to see what they make now and throughout the rest of their careers
This is the most enchanting thing I have ever watched, I'm instantly a fan!
Somehow even greater than the sum of their - already wonderful - parts. What a wonderful act.
kexp could do a session of just julien baker talking
Lmao they almost did, love her though.
I'd pay for that.
I felt the same way when I watched Margaret Glaspy's Tiny Desk Concert.
Amazing 3 great performers collaborating together. And we get those fabulous harmonies !
i love lucy sm, wish she sang more in boygenius
These kids are killer. And Cheryl is the best in the biz. KEXP always finds the next big thing and makes it sound perfect.
