Next to Normal

Grammy-nominated indie-pop band Lucius released their highly anticipated new self-titled album on May 2 via Fantasy Records—their most personal and purposeful work to date. Their fourth studio album, Lucius finds the band returning to their roots with eleven new songs written and recorded without seeking outside influence—their first time doing so since their 2013 debut. Produced by Lucius’ Dan Molad, the record explores topics such as relationships, grief and life’s complexities, with a unique vulnerability only made possible due the familial nature of the band. Known for their engaging live performances, Lucius has been featured on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” PBS’ “Austin City Limits” and “The Kelly Clarkson Show" and has toured across the world. This spring, the group will return to the road with their extensive “Gold Rush Tour." Throughout their acclaimed career, Lucius’ Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe have also become some of the most sought-after collaborators in popular music due to their “otherworldly” vocals (Los Angeles Times). The duo has recorded and performed with artists such as Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlile, John Legend, The Killers and Harry Styles, including appearances on the Grammy stage and NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” Lucius is Laessig, Wolfe, Molad and Peter Lalish.
