2019 Lucy Dacus SKU: OLE14521 Barcode: 0744861145219 13.00 £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Matador Released Date: 8th November 2019 Buying Format: 12" EP/Mini Album Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Recorded in here-and-there studio spurts over the last two years, ‘2019’ is made up of originals and cover songs tied to specific holidays, each of which has dropped/will drop around their respective date: Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day (and Taurus season!), Independence Day, Springsteen’s Birthday (not an official holiday, though Chris Christie often took that day off, aaparently), Halloween, Christmas and New Year. Lucy Dacus uses her gift as a songwriter to help understand and cope with the world around her, including making sense of national holidays, often more geared towards social media boasts and manufactured consumerism than authentic celebration. “What is going on,” she asks herself on these days, retreating from the heightened expectations of holidays to figure out what to make of them and to find her own meaning. “I’ve collected some songs from trying to answer that question,” she says, and “this EP seems like the right place to put them next to each other. These songs are self-contained, not indicative of a new direction, just a willingness to do something different and sometimes even out of character.” Available on coloured vinyl for the first time ever and as a one-off pressing, Lucy Dacus’ ‘Historian’ is issued on clear wax alongside the physical release of ‘2019’. Lucy Dacus is done thinking small. Two years after her 2016 debut, ‘No Burden’, won her unanimous acclaim as one of rock’s most promising new voices, Dacus returns with ‘Historian’, a remarkably assured 10-track statement of intent. It finds her unafraid to take on the big questions – the life-or-death reckonings, and the ones that just feel that way. It’s a record full of bracing realizations, tearful declarations and moments of hard-won peace, expressed in lyrics that feel destined for countless yearbook quotes and first tattoos. Dacus and her band recorded the album in Nashville last March, re-teaming with ‘No Burden’ producer Collin Pastore and mixed it a few months later with A-list studio wizard John Congleton. The sound they created, with substantial input from multiinstrumentalist and live guitarist Jacob Blizard, is far richer and fuller than the debut – an outward flowering of dynamic, living, breathing rock and roll. Dacus’ remarkable sense of melody and composition are the driving force throughout, giving Historian the immersive feel of an album made by an artist in full command of her powers. The past year, with its electoral disasters and other assorted heartbreaks, has been a rough one for many of us, Dacus included. She found solace in crafting a thoughtful narrative arc for ‘Historian’, writing a concept album about cautious optimism in the face of adversity, with thematic links between songs that reveal themselves on repeat listens. “It starts out dark and ends hopeful, but it gets darker in between; it goes to the deepest, darkest, place and then breaks,” she explains. “What I’m trying to say throughout the album is that hope survives, even in the face of the worst stuff.” Artist Lucy Dacus Genre Rock And Pop Label Matador Buying Options 12" EP/Mini Album Format 12" , EP/Mini Album Condition New Country UK Track Listings Fool’s Gold La Vie En Rose My Mother & I Forever Half Mast Dancing In The Dark In The Air Tonight Last Christmas Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Lucy Dacus View Product Quick View Lucy Dacus Historian (5th Anniversary Edition) Rock And Pop | Matador | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th May 2023 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lucy Dacus Historian (5th Anniversary Edition) £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Matador SKU: OLE1139LP2 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lucy Dacus Thumbs / Kissing Lessons Rock And Pop | Matador | 7", Single Released 3rd June 2022 £11.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Lucy Dacus Thumbs / Kissing Lessons £11.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Matador SKU: OLE1872S Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 3rd June 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Paul's picks View Product Quick View Lucy Dacus Home Video Rock And Pop | Matador | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 25th June 2021 £19.00 Select options Lucy Dacus Home Video £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Matador Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 25th June 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Lucy Dacus Historian Rock And Pop | Matador | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th February 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lucy Dacus Historian £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Matador SKU: OLE1139LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lucy Dacus No Burden Rock And Pop | Matador | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 9th September 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lucy Dacus No Burden £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Matador SKU: OLE11151 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 9th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more from Lucy Dacus Start again More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Primal Scream Give Out But Don’t Give Up – The Original Memphis Recordings Rock And Pop | Sony CMG | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 19th November 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Primal Scream Give Out But Don’t Give Up – The Original Memphis Recordings £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony CMG SKU: 19075815741 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 19th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Public Service Broadcasting Live At Brixton – Limited Coloured Vinyl Rock And Pop | Test Card Recordings | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes DVD Released 2nd December 2016 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Public Service Broadcasting Live At Brixton – Limited Coloured Vinyl £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Test Card Recordings SKU: TCRVAL04X Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes DVD Released Date: 2nd December 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds Who Built The Moon?
