"Bite the Hand" was Lucy Dacus's piece of boygenius, the 2018 debut EP from the indie supergroup she formed with Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers. The method was simple: each songwriter carried one nearly finished song into the studio and let the other two have at it. Dacus brought this one and sings lead, and the writing credit ended up shared by all three, which sums up the whole project about as neatly as anything could.
The trio produced it themselves at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, knocking out the entire EP in four days that June and staffing the sessions only with women. "Bite the Hand" arrived in August, one of three songs released the day the band went public, and Matador put the EP out digitally that October, two weeks ahead of schedule.
