Lucius announce new album & tour, share “Gold Rush”

Lucius have announced their self-titled fourth album, which will be out May 2 via Fantasy Records. The band’s Dan Molad produced the album and it features contributions from The War on Drugs‘ Adam Granduciel, Dawes‘ Taylor Goldsmith, Madison Cunningham, Luke Temple, Rob Moose, and more.

“Our fourth studio album is the four of us, just as we first started recording together as a band,” say Lucius. “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.”

The new single from the album is “Gold Rush,” that is kinda funky and has Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe’s harmonies and ’70s rock grooves running through its veins. The band say, “‘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.” Listen below.

Lucius will be on tour starting in May with Victoria Cana opening. Stops include NYC’s Brooklyn Paramount on May 15. They also have West Coast and Southwest dates in the fall, and tickets for all just-announced shows go on sale Friday, February 7 at 10 AM local time.
