On November 16, 2018, Phoebe Bridgers participated in the NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert as part of the supergroup boygenius, which also included Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus. At this time, Bridgers had recently released her debut studio album, "Stranger in the Alps," in 2017, which received critical acclaim and helped establish her as a significant voice in indie rock. The members of boygenius had individually garnered attention for their solo work before forming the group in 2018, and their collaboration marked a significant moment in their careers, showcasing their collective musical synergy. It was shortly after this live performance that the group released their self-titled EP, "boygenius," in the same year. The NPR performance highlighted their strong harmonies and emotive songwriting, illustrating the unique blend of their individual talents and marking a pivotal moment in Bridgers' rise within the music industry.
