Lucius have announced their self-titled fourth album, set for release on 2nd May via Fantasy Records. The record includes previously released track ‘Old Tape’ and new single ‘Gold Rush’.
The album, produced by the band’s Dan Molad, features collaborations with The War on Drugs’ Adam Granduciel, Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith, Madison Cunningham, Luke Temple, and Rob Moose.
“Our fourth studio album is the four of us, just as we first started recording together as a band,” Lucius explain. “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.”
Speaking about their new single, the band share: “‘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.”
The album’s tracklist includes ‘Final Days’, ‘Gold Rush’, ‘Do It All For You’, ‘Mad Love’, ‘Stranger Danger’, ‘Hallways’, ‘Old Tape’ featuring Adam Granduciel, ‘Impressions’ featuring Madison Cunningham, ‘Borderline’, ‘Orange Blossoms’, and ‘At the End of the Day’.
