Vinyl love: Boygenius “The record”

(Vinyl Love is a series of posts that quite simply lists, describes, and displays the pieces in my growing vinyl collection. You can bet that each record was given a spin during the drafting of each corresponding post.)

Artist: Boygenius
Album Title: The record
Year released: 2023
Details: Urban Outfitters exclusive, pink swirl

The skinny: I’ve never purchased a piece of clothing from Urban Outfitters, for myself nor for anyone else, and I’m not even sure if I’ve ever even stepped foot into one of their stores. I have, however, now purchased two records from their online store, both Urban Outfitter exclusives. I was leery at first but after purchasing Orville Peck’s debut album “Pony” on red/orange vinyl and being quite happy with it, I have been tempted by a few others. I finally pulled the trigger on another very early this year when I saw they would have their own exclusive of Boygenius’s debut LP, “The record”. It was advertised as beige and pink swirl and the hype sticker calls it beige but I’m pretty sure it’s pink. But that’s my only complaint, if you can even call it that. It looks and sounds great and came with a 24-page zine, filled with pics and lyrics. Another no regret purchase, especially since the album was one of my faves of the year, coming in at number nine on the list that is still being counted down.*

Standout track: “$20”
