Lucy Dacus

Imho ridiculously broad sweeping statement alert, but for how talented they all are and how many great songs they’ve done, there aren’t all that many great albums between the three of them

(Which is fine ofc, not like there’s any other super groups doing it better than them!)

No idea what you are on about here. Is that what was said?

I’m not invested enough to carry on engagement with this. Sorry

Really thought this would be the record where it all clicked for me…sadly I am also think it’s fairly light. I really like her voice, and some songs (Thumbs, Night Shift) are incredible…but none of her albums have properly grabbed me. I’m sure one day she’ll strike gold.

Enjoying this so far. Her voice is just wonderful.

Agreed, absolutely loving it.

There’s so much detail under the surface in tracks like Modigliani. Really good stuff

Probably going to get some hate for this opinion but it’s kind of reminding me of listening to The National these days… The songs just aren’t that exciting but it’s still nice to luxuriate in the voice.

Her voice sounds amazing on this record but for me too many of the songs are forgettable and the production just kinds of blands it all out. She’s always seemed really distinctive and unusual to me, but a lot of the songs on this album could be by a hundred other American female singer songwriters.

Best Guess is a tremendous song though.

Don’t mind this but the gta line made me cringe

Instrumentals are nice but she’s fallen into just sing-speaking over nice music. Doesn’t feel like vocal melodies are her strong point

Need to go in again, two listens left no impact so far

So busy enjoying the new album that I simply walked out of the self checkout at Tesco without paying

the woman herself would probably support this

Absolutely nuts over this tbh, and also the lyrics are still really nice. I’m very taken with ‘if the devils in the details / god is in the gap between your teeth / you are doing the lord’s work every time you smile at me’

I feel like she hasn’t unleashed her big ol voice as much on here but she’s still fantastic

Yeah I’ve listened to it nearly every day since it came out. It’s so good. The chorus to Ankles melts me every time

The move from ‘pull my by the ankles’ to ‘help me with the crossword in the morning’ :heart::heart::heart:

If anyone is interested in buying a Front Row balcony seat for Thursday’s Lucy Dacus and Jasmine 4T gig at Brixton Academy please drop me a DM.

Similarly, if anyone would like a ticket for the Glasgow gig, let me know — it’s not sold out, so you can have it for half price (£20)
