Some time ago the singers and songwriters Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig played their breakthrough salbum Wildewoman on the tenth birthday. With a little less storm and urge, but at the same level of intensity. Lucius recognized what her music originally distinguished. Which is why the new album has some references to the early phase and consequently bears the name of the band: Lucius.
Lucius are better if they stay with themselves
The updated identity finding was also important because Wolfe and Laessig are extremely popular with their twin outfit and the perfectly coordinated vocals. They worked for The Killers, Ringo Starr, Ozzy Osbourne, Harry Styles, Sheryl Crow or the War on Drugs.
You can lose a look at what distinguishes your own music. In the best case, these are: great songs. “Final Days” flirts with Americana, “do it all for you” sounds as if Lucius would sing a radiohead composition that had been left wrong. Lucius could have shined with many guests, but it stays with two appearances: Madison Cunningham sings with “Impressions” and turns from two-part. Adam Granduciel is there at “Old Tape” – and Lucius already sound like the war on drugs. They are better if they stay with themselves.
