Lucius have announced their self-titled fourth album, which will land on May 2 via Fantasy Records. It includes the previously unveiled song ‘Old Tape’, as well as the groovy new track ‘Gold Rush’. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.
The band’s Dan Molad produced the new album, which features contributions from The War on Drugs’ Adam Granduciel, Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith, Madison Cunningham, Luke Temple, Rob Moose, and more. In a statement, Lucius said:
Our fourth studio album is the four of us, just as we first started recording together as a band. It’s raw and honest and feels like coming home; something that resonates deeply in this moment of our lives. We are home in so many senses of the word; in the last couple of years we’ve started setting roots, finding life partners, building families, growing gardens. We got dogs, (you can hear them in the background if you listen close). We wrote songs about life and relationships. We recorded them in our home studios. We saw the beginnings and endings of life cycles while making this record, the beauty and fragility of the human experience. So it’s only fitting that this album is self-titled, it’s our story, who we are now and how we got here. Welcome to our living room.
Commenting on the lead single, the band explained: “‘Gold Rush’ is that addictive sweetness to love. The roller coaster highs and lows. The sugary can’t get enough of you, can’t live with you feeling that keeps you coming back for more. It’s energy and grit: guitars wailing, heavy backbeat, dynamic vocals which flip from verse to chorus – mellow to strong – playing off the band and echoing the sentiment of the lyrics.”
