Lucius have released a new single titled ‘Old Tape’, featuring Adam Granduciel of The War on Drugs.
‘Old Tape’ serves as the first preview of Lucius’ forthcoming studio album, expected in 2025. The track features Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig on vocals, with Granduciel contributing electric guitar and vocals.
The band shared their thoughts on the new release, saying: “We wrote ‘Old Tape’ while working on new music at Danny [Molad]’s studio in LA; we were discussing the loops we get stuck in, the rabbit holes our minds go down, even getting nerdy on epigenetics—the voices in our heads that might not be our own, and ultimately, how to quiet that noise and let it all go.
“We wanted to make something that was both driving and uplifting, and no one does it better than The War on Drugs … so after building a landscape, we called our dear friend, Adam, to see if he’d lend his beautiful vocals and guitar. He graciously and enthusiastically accepted and it really brought the track to life. Produced and mixed by our longtime bandmate Dan Molad.”
The release follows Lucius’ recent North American tour with The National and The War on Drugs, which included performances at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium and LA’s Hollywood Bowl.
