NEW ARTIST OF THE DAY: LUCIUS

Stop what you are doing and listen, glorious pop melodies and soaring harmonies from Brooklyn based female fronted Lucius.

SUBBA-CULTCHA.COM SAYS:  “Lucius are Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, two Brooklyn girls, who could be twins but aren’t, Dan Molad, Peter Lalish and Andrew Burri who all sport co-ordinated dashing outfits and moustaches (the guys, not the girls). 2013 saw them release their debut album
Wildewoman in the US

^st March and sell out two nights at The Bowery Ballroom and a show at The Shacklewell Arms that introduced the UK to a communally euphoric live show, Subba-Cultcha was there read our review
here. Having impressed Subba-Cultcha live with their combination of sixties pop harmony vocals, snappy lyrics and punk pop tunes we can’t wait for their debut album to arrive. Tracks already available on their Soundcloud and YouTube include the foot stomping
Turn It Around and the dreamy
Tempest. Already gathering momentum, their beautiful and haunting
Until We Get There was used on the Zooey Deschanel comedy series
New Girl, tickets for their upcoming live dates are available now and are guaranteed to be a sell out."
Lucius is the name given to the band fronted by the irresistible Wolfe and Laessig, vocally they are inseparable and together they produce impeccable harmonies that are truly unique. Mining a deep seam of eccentric New York musical tropes, they marry a Brooklyn wit-sharp ear for pop melodies to girl group vocal harmonies with percussive post-punk power. The debut album ‘
Wildewoman’ is a product of the social network that they pulled together whilst exploring their music at college: with the addition of bandmates Molad, Lalish and Burri the result is a joyous and uplifting. Catch them live in the UK
