They’re a lot of shots of Los Angeles and neck tatts in this one by boygenius and I’m of the same opinion. I’ve already forgotten what this song sounds like as I type. Not to be a snob but neck tatts always appear grody to me. Maybe the gas station attendant should get less.

boygenius – the acclaimed trio comprising Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus, have released “Not Strong Enough,” the fourth track taken from their highly anticipated debut album the recordThrough soaring harmonies and the band’s signature candid lyricism, the song is about paradoxically experiencing self-hatred while having a God complex. The accompanying video, which was self-shot by the band and edited by Jackson Bridgers, feels like a home video reel, offering a glimpse into their close bond as they spend a carefree day together. “Not Strong Enough” premiered on BBC Radio 1 Hottest Record today. 

boygenius announced their long awaited debut album, the record, in January and made global headlines with their Nirvana-nodding cover of February’s Rolling Stone magazine. boygenius will perform at this year’s Coachella Music Festival on Saturday, April 15th and Saturday, April 22nd in addition to headlining the inaugural Re:Set Concert Series with stops in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and more.
