Lucius return with the release of their bright, electric new single & video for “Next to Normal” ahead of their highly-anticipated third studio album, Second Nature. The disco-inspired dance track introduces a fresh new take on the signature Lucius sound.
Lucius’ Jess Wolfe speaks on the inspiration behind Second Nature:
“It is a record that begs you not to sit in the difficult moments, but to dance through them. It touches upon all these stages of grief—and some of that is breakthrough, by the way. Being able to have the full spectrum of the experience that we have had, or that I’ve had in my divorce, or that we had in lockdown, having our careers come to a halt, so to speak. I think you can really hear and feel the spectrum of emotion and hopefully find the joy in the darkness. It does exist. That’s why we made Second Nature and why we wanted it to sound the way it did: our focus was on dancing our way through the darkness.”
Produced by Dave Cobb and Brandi Carlile, the album offers a new look into Lucius’ creative vision. Featuring appearances from Drew Erickson, Rob Moose, and Gabriel Cabezas, along with backing vocals from Carlile and Sheryl Crow, Second Nature proves worth the wait.
Lucius will be headlining a tour following the release of Second Nature—tickets onsale Friday, January 14. Sign-up to learn more.
