lucy dacus

new lucy dacus thread made in anticipation of her third album the first song from which was released today

can't think of a lyricist on her level atm in indie rock

LOVE her, the best songwriter of the boygenius crew imo

“Night shift” is completely devastating

Love the covers EP she put out a couple years ago.

new album in june

both new songs excellent

Yeah these are both good. Love her voice, it's one of those that kind of rides across the surface but has implied depths. She has a really rich tone.

I think dacus is the person in that general boygenius orbit who best combines performance, lyric and production in service of the songs. she has a really good ear.

Got tickets to see her, hope willing, in September, with Bachelor (Palehound/Jay Som) opening. Should be a good night.

continues to establish herself as the real deal

You called me cerebral
I didn't know what you meant
But now I do
Would it have killed you to call me pretty instead?

What a great song (as usual).

all these songs have been really nice

this album is really good

guess i should give her previous stuff another try

finally got around to this and..."thumbs"...sheeeesh

In five years I hope the songs feel like covers...

Great new video for "Night Shift," directed by Jane Schoenbrun

very rude, she could lean a thing or two from Susanna Hoffs

lol

appreciate the frownyface emoji, which confirms to me that his war crimes make her sad :(

One of the most internationally famous and popular public figures of the last century promoted my song on the same list as Stevie Wonder, Ella Fitzgerald, and John Coltrane :(

I've heard his fame and popularity were a great source of comfort to the families of people he drone bombed :)

unironically i wish more ppl expressed indifference or worse at being on his vaunted lists

I'm just wondering how long he plans to keep it up for. It's kind of funny that it's still a thing six years after he left the White House.

we should make it rule that you can only post lists of songs to ilm if you've been potus at some point in the last five years

this song exploder episode was my introduction to lucy dacus -- i shared it with a friend and we bonded INTENSELY after listening to the episode and the song. i was the friend (the lucy character) who desperately wanted to protect her friend from a hurtful parent. so specific and accurate and real -- also, just as anecdata, my boygenius friends at work all say Lucy is their fave <3
