Sure enough, they have now announced that their first album is done and ready to drop on March 31, right before their two performances in Indio, CA. To extinguish our impatience, boygenius has released three tracks from the upcoming record, titled (bet you never saw it coming” the record. Listen to “$20,” “Emily I’m Sorry,” and “True Blue” below:
