"Cool About It" sits on the record, the 2023 album from Boygenius, and it's a song written three ways, with Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus sharing both the music and the words. The trio produced it themselves, with Catherine Marks co-producing and recording and Mike Mogis mixing, and a squad of extra producers, Tony Berg, Melina Duterte, Ethan Gruska and Sarah Tudzin, chipping in.
For all those hands, it's one of the album's quietest moments: hushed, close-miked and rueful, the three voices folding together, the kind of song that sounds like friends passing a guitar around late at night.
