LUCIUS’ GOOD GRIEF
OUT TODAY VIA MOM + POP WORLDWIDE TOUR DATES CONFIRMED [image error] [image error] Good Grief , the new album from critically acclaimed five-piece Lucius is out today via Mom + Pop. The album, which debuted as an NPR Music First Listen, continues to receive critical acclaim:
“Ebullient.”—Rolling Stone
“Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig’s soaring vocals make a massive pop sound and hint at new possibilities for one of our favorite bands.”—NPR Music
“Especially gorgeous, moving…”—The New York Times
“Knocking the listener sideways with some perfectly plush
Fleetwood Mac-meets-early-Heart vibes.”—Vice’s Noisey
“...dabbling in pristine harmonies, the Berklee-trained sirens more often belt it out as a single unit with a force that decimates Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound and has the potential to reach Jupiter.”—Consequence Of Sound
“Uncertainty and emotional turmoil loom over some of its best tracks, as Wolfe and Laessig’s voices belt out some of their most powerful harmonies yet.”—Paste
Lucius—led by its co-founders and vocalists Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig accompanied by multi-instrumentalists Andrew Burri, Peter Lalish and Dan Molad—have confirmed worldwide tour dates with stops at Austin’s SXSW Festival, New York’s Webster Hall, Paris’ La Maroquinerie, Los Angeles’ The Fonda Theatre, Bonnaroo, Osheaga Festival and more. Paste calls their live show “…a display that employs collaborative percussion, eye-catching stage props and a symbiosis of themselves and their audience.” Tickets can be purchased at http://bit.ly/lcs16p. See below for complete tour dates.
Good Grief was produced by Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Weezer) and Lucius with Bob Ezrin. The album was mixed by Tom Elmhirst (Adele, Beck). Of the album, Wolfe says, “When we started writing for this record, we had been away from home for nearly two years. We had just returned from tour, having gone through such varied emotions—loneliness, sadness and exhaustion alongside excitement, fulfillment and some of the most joyful moments in our lives…Whenever one of us had an idea or a feeling, the other was already a witness to it and could help navigate through it—for the two of us, this usually came in song form.” Laessig adds, “…When considering titles, we wanted to be sure to acknowledge any serious subject matter, while simultaneously allowing ourselves a comic sigh of relief from any personal turmoil. Ha! The yin and yang of the record naturally unveiled itself and, so, Good Grief.”
