Lucius come full circle on their self-titled new album, and with a new sense of self they’ve distilled everything they've learned into their most heartfelt record yet.

After 16 years of crafting lush, genre-bending pop, Lucius have hit the reset button, and the result feels like a new beginning. On their self-titled fourth album, Lucius, the beloved indie-pop quartet strip back the glitz and polish for something warmer and more personal than anything they've ever done. “It’s just the four of us, like when we first started recording,” the band shares. “It’s raw and honest. It feels like coming home.”

Recorded in their home studios - with dogs barking quietly in the background if you listen close enough - Lucius is a portrait of life in motion. Between growing families, planting gardens, and watching life unfold in all its messy beauty, the band found themselves writing songs about real relationships, real beginnings, real endings. It’s no wonder they chose to name this album after themselves. Lucius is who they are now. Witht that, the album trades dancefloor anthems for living-room confessionals, glitzy production for real, human imperfections. It’s the sound of a band finding peace with their past and stepping into their present.

Formed by vocalists and songwriters Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, alongside multi-instrumentalists Peter Lalish and Dan Molad, Lucius first captured the rock world’s attention with their 2013 debut Wildewoman, a stunning mix of '60’s girl group spirit and modern indie sparkle that launched the group onto a path that would see them touring the globe and working with some of the biggest names in music.Their follow-up, Good Grief (2016), showed Lucius’ ability to evolve, weaving heartache into soaring pop landscapes. By 2022’s Second Nature - a glittering, Brandi Carlile and Dave Cobb produced disco fever dream - they had a firm grasp on their status as one of indie pop’s most impressive forces. Along the way, Wolfe and Laessig became two of the most in-demand vocalists in the business, lending their voices to tracks by Harry Styles, The War On Drugs, Ozzy Osbourne, and even joining Joni Mitchell’s fabled Joni Jam.
