Lucius have announced a self-titled album, due out May 2 through Fantasy Records. They've shared a preview of the album in the form of the single "Gold Rush."
The LP was produced by the band's own drummer Dan Molad, with sessions taking place between L.A.'s Altamira Sound and Molad's home studio (which he's sadly since had to close up due to the city's wildfires).
The 11 songs include a guest appearance apiece from Madison Cunningham and Lucius's 2024 tour buddy Adam Granduciel (leader of the War on Drugs).
The band said in a statement:
Our fourth studio album is the four of us, just as we first started recording together as a band. It's raw and honest and feels like coming home; something that resonates deeply in this moment of our lives. We are home in so many senses of the word; in the last couple of years we've started setting roots, finding life partners, building families, growing gardens. We got dogs, (you can hear them in the background if you listen close). We wrote songs about life and relationships. We recorded them in our home studios. We saw the beginnings and endings of life cycles while making this record, the beauty and fragility of the human experience. So it's only fitting that this album is self-titled, it's our story, who we are now and how we got here. Welcome to our living room.
