Lucius’ second album ‘Good Grief' is released today on PIAS.

The band is led by its co-founders and vocalists Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, accompanied by multi-instrumentalists Andrew Burri, Peter Lalish and Dan Molad. Lucius’ distinctive play on duality showcases Jess and Holly’s powerful voices at the center — bolstered and surrounded by the mathematically precise drumming of Dan with the graceful, chiming guitars of Pete and Andy. Together the quintet create a sound the New Yorker calls “seemingly impossible with flawless grace that brings delicate beauty to even the most bombastic moments.”

The songs veer from sassy, soul-drenched vocals to glitzy rhythmic pop to songs that call up '60s girl groups; from the first swooping, synthy intro of ‘Something About You’ to the menace of ‘What We Have (To Change),’ these are expertly wrought pop songs full of emotional depth. 

And what of the record’s title, ‘Good Grief’? Laessig explains; “We wanted to be sure to acknowledge any serious subject matter, while simultaneously allowing ourselves a comic sigh of relief from any personal turmoil. The yin and yang of the record naturally unveiled itself and, so, ‘Good Grief'’’.
