New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Rock trio boygenius, (Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus) have released an animated video for "Cool About It," a lead single off their critically acclaimed album the record which dropped on March 31st of this year. The video, which is the first animated video directed by
Lauren Tsai, details the relationship between a dog and a dog toy through intricate visuals and beautifully crafted animation.
Of the video's creation, Tsai says: "Cool About It" is a beautifully melancholic and piercing song that puts words to feelings often unexplained. It is an absolute dream to collaborate with the genius that is boygenius. I made animated videos on YouTube when I was 11 and I cannot imagine something I'd lose my mind over more if I could go back in time and tell myself. I will always be grateful to the band for the many ways in which their work has affected my life."

Boston (MGM
