“dazzling…Second Nature mines an ’80s-pop sound with lush synths and sleek disco grooves under the women’s laser-guided vocals” – Los Angeles Times

“with Second Nature…they’re no longer 20 feet or even a couple of yards from stardom, but re-claiming the spotlight for themselves” – Variety

Acclaimed indie-pop band Lucius will release their highly anticipated new self-titled album Friday May 2 via Fantasy Records.

Today they share a brand new offering from their forthcoming album ‘Gold Rush’. 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 group reflects, “‘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.”

Produced by Lucius’ Dan Molad, the new album marks a full circle moment for the group (Laessig, Wolfe, Molad and Peter Lalish) as they return to their roots, writing and recording without seeking outside influence—their first time doing so since their debut over a decade ago. Across these eleven tracks, Lucius explores deeply personal topics, such as relationships, grief and life’s complexities, with a vulnerability only made possible due the familial nature of the band.

Reflecting on the project, Lucius shares, “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. 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.”

Lucius features collaborations with a few close friends—The War on Drugs’ Adam Granduciel (‘Old Tape’), Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith (‘Stranger Danger’), Madison Cunningham (‘Impressions’) and Ethan Gruska (‘Impressions’)—as well as contributions from Luke Temple (electric guitar, ‘Do It All For You’), Rob Moose (strings, ‘At the End of the Day’) and Evan Smith (flutes, ‘At the End of the Day’).

The album was recorded in Los Angeles at Altamira Sound and Sounds Like a Fire Studios, the latter of which has since unfortunately been impacted by the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

Lucius, their fourth studio album, follows the band’s acclaimed 2022 record, Second Nature, which was produced by Brandi Carlile and Dave Cobb. Most recently, Lucius celebrated the 10-year-anniversary of their debut album, Wildewoman, with the release of Wildewoman (The New Recordings)—an expanded version of the record that features new versions of the 12 original tracks, including collaborations with friends Carlile, Marcus Mumford and Devon Gilfillian.

Throughout their acclaimed career, Lucius’ Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe have become some of the most sought-after collaborators in popular music, having performed and recorded with artists such as Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlile, John Legend, The Killers, Harry Styles, Sheryl Crow and many more. Now, with the release of Lucius, they’re poised for a long-overdue breakout, as they return with a record that cements them as a musical force entirely on their own.
