boygenius return with their first song since their 2018 self-titled EP. Julien Baker takes the reins in “$20”, initially written outside of the group.

With soft punky vibes and scattered harmonies, Baker leads, with bandmates Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus finishing her sentences. As the song ends, overlapping vocals create a chaotic soundscape before Bridgers screams her heart out.

“$20” may be inspired by another Baker-penned boygenius song, in which she sings,

Dreamcatcher on the rearview mirror
Hasn’t caught a thing yet
Twenty dollars and a souvenir
Anything’s worth trying
