Lucius are again with their first album since 2016’s Good Grief. Second Nature is due out April 8 through Mom + Pop/Dine Alone/Second Nature Records/Secretly Distribution. It was produced by Dave Cobb and Brandi Carlile, and recorded primarily at Nashville’s RCA Studio A. Carlile and Sheryl Crow contributed backing vocals to one monitor, “Dance Around It,” and you’ll see the duvet artwork and tracklist under.
“Lucius has been one in every of my favourite bands since their first studio album,” Carlile says. “I stored operating into them at festivals and discovering myself mystified by their energy. This album appears like residence to me and anybody rising up surrounded by 80s and 90s pop, however in some way Second Nature is the start of a new period—not only for Lucius, however for all of us. We want to get again up on our toes and that’s what this album is insisting we do. This is my first co-production with my expensive pal Dave Cobb and I don’t know if I’ve ever been prouder even to witness one thing not to mention get my arms on it. It was an absolute blast.”
Vocalist and songwriter Jess Wolfe calls the album “a file that begs you not to sit within the troublesome moments, however to dance by way of them. It touches upon all these phases of grief—and a few of that’s breakthrough, by the best way. Being ready to have the total spectrum of the expertise that we’ve had, or that I’ve had in my divorce, or that we had in lockdown, having our careers come to a halt, so to converse. I feel you may actually hear and really feel the spectrum of emotion and hopefully discover the enjoyment within the darkness. It does exist. That’s why we made Second Nature and why we wished it to sound the best way it did: our focus was on dancing our method by way of the darkness.”
The first single is the disco-tinged “Next to Normal,” and you’ll watch the kaleidoscopic video under.
