Lucy Dacus has announced second LP Historian, which she says is the record she "needed to make"
Richmond, Virginia-based artist Lucy Dacus has announced second record Historian and shared lead single "Night Shift".
Dacus is following up last year's debut LP No Burden. First offering "Night Shift" is a six-and-a-half minute ode described as the "only breakup song [she's] ever written".
"This is the album I needed to make. Everything after this is a bonus," says Dacus. "It starts out dark and ends hopeful, but it gets darker in between; it goes to the deepest, darkest, place and then breaks... what I'm trying to say throughout the album is that hope survives, even in the face of the worst stuff."
The singer/songwriter recorded the album in Nashville with producer Collin Pastore (who also worked on No Burden), with John Congleton assisting on mixing duties.
Dacus will play a lengthy North American and European tour beginning in Brooklyn next March and ending in Amsterdam in May. Find out full details.
