boygenius selling demos for charity for 24 hours only on Bandcamp Day

boygenius, aka the collaborative project of Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus, have only one release so far, their excellent 2018 joint EP, but they did reunite this year to appear on Hayley Williams’ solo album and Phoebe’s new solo LP. We’d love more new music from the group, but they have a release coming up on Friday (7/3) that sounds great, too. They’ll be sharing three demo versions of songs from their 2018 EP, “Stay Down,” “Me & My Dog,” and “Bite the Hand,” recorded on voice memo. They’ll be available on Bandcamp for 24 hours only, as part of this month’s Bandcamp day, when the site waives its cut of profits.

Phoebe, Julien, and Lucy each chose a local organization to donate the proceeds from the demos to, and they’ll be split between Downtown Women’s Center (Phoebe’s pick), OUTMemphis (Julien’s pick), and Mutual Aid Disaster Relief Richmond (Lucy’s pick).

Stay tuned for more special Bandcamp Day releases, too.
