Info for Wildewoman (The New Recordings)

Wildewoman (The New Recordings) bietet eine reichhaltigere Version von Lucius' umwerfendem Debütalbum. Zu den Gästen gehören Marcus Mumford, Devon Gilfillian und Brandi Carlile.

Wildewoman (The New Recordings) ist eine Neuinterpretation und Erweiterung von Lucius' umwerfendem Debütalbum mit verbesserter Instrumentierung und tieferen Interpretationen dieser bemerkenswerten Songs. Das 13 Titel umfassende Set enthält Gastauftritte von Marcus Mumford bei "Go Home (The New Recording)" und Devon Gilfillian bei "Tempest (The New Recording)".

Die von den Leadsängern und Songschreibern Jess Wolfe und Holly Laessig gegründete Indie-Band Lucius wird für ihre geschmeidigen Harmonien und ihre einzigartig originelle Pop-Noir-Musikkunst gefeiert. Mit den Multi-Instrumentalisten Peter Lalish und Dan Molad haben Lucius drei Alben veröffentlicht und sind weltweit auf Tournee gegangen, wobei sie sich mit ihren genialen Art-Pop-Kreationen und elektrisierenden Live-Auftritten eine begeisterte Anhängerschaft erspielt haben. Die außergewöhnliche Musikalität und das Songwriting-Talent von Wolfe und Laessig zeigen sich in der Zusammenarbeit mit einer Vielzahl von Künstlern während ihrer 16-jährigen Karriere.

Lucius gaben 2013 ihr Debüt mit Wildewoman, das die dauerhafte Single "Two of Us on the Run" enthielt und von den Kritikern hoch gelobt wurde. Der Rolling Stone lobte die moderne Interpretation des 60er-Jahre-Girlgroup-Sounds auf dem Album als "frisch und aufregend". Auf ihrem zweiten Album Good Grief aus dem Jahr 2016 vertiefte die in Los Angeles ansässige Gruppe ihre Einflüsse und schuf ein Album, das NPR als "hinreißend" bezeichnete und ihre schnell wachsende Fangemeinde weiter ausbaute. Im Jahr 2022 veröffentlichten Lucius Second Nature, eine von Brandi Carlile und Dave Cobb produzierte, von den 80er Jahren inspirierte LP. Das Album enthält Next to Normal", das von NPR Music zu einem der Top-Songs des Jahres gekürt wurde, und den funkelnden Disco-Song Dance Around It" mit Beiträgen von Carlile und Sheryl Crow.

Neben Lucius gehören Wolfe und Laessig zu den gefragtesten Sängern auf dem Markt. Sie sind Mitglieder von Joni Mitchells geschätzter "Joni Jam"-Crew und haben ihre Stimmen Songs von einer Vielzahl von Künstlern geliehen, darunter The War on Drugs, John Legend, The Killers, Harry Styles, Black Pumas, Jeff Tweedy und sogar Ozzy Osbourne.

Lucius
dubbed by Rolling Stone as “the best band you may not have heard yet,” ­are a five-piece indie-pop band from Brooklyn. The quintet pairs the synchronous and powerful vocals of Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, who also play synth and keyboards, with guitars and percussion from Dan Molad, Peter Lalish and Andrew Burri. Together, they make music that evokes classic girl-group pop and iconic rock ’n’ roll with a modern twist, that belongs solely to Lucius.

The band’s 2013 debut LP WILDEWOMAN (Mom + Pop) is lauded by The New York Times as “an art school take on girl group soul,” admired by Paste for its “strong song structures, substantive lyrics and precise playing” and included in NPR’s top 50 albums of 2013.

Landing on numerous critics’ best-of lists is only the beginning of a pivotal year for the band. Lucius has spent most of 2014 on headlining US and European tours, performing at a variety of the country’s largest summer festivals (Governor’s Ball, Lollapallooza, ACL, ect.) and playing in support of Sara Bareilles, City and Colour, The Head and The Heart and Andrew Bird. Wolfe and Laessig also make appearances via backing vocals for Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy’s latest release SUKIERAE and on ALPHAVILLE, the debut LP from The Rentals. But none of it happened overnight.

“We’ve been singing together for almost nine years,” Wolfe says. “We never wanted to rush anything. We never looked for a record deal before it felt like we needed one, and we never wanted to be on tour until we felt like we could sustain ourselves on the road. It was important for us to hone our craft.” Wolfe and Laessig met in college in Boston, bonding over a love of old-school soul, David Bowie and the Beatles. They sing as though each is one half of the same voice, with riveting, resonant unison parts on songs like “Hey Doreen,” the propulsive first single from WILDEWOMAN; and harmonies that feel instinctive as their voices diverge and then meld together on the ineffably catchy title track. “We started singing in unison because we were always drawn to doubled vocals on recordings,” Wolfe says. “We figured it couldn’t hurt to try it in a live setting and it just felt like our voices were supposed to be sitting together – an automatic vocal kinship. In truth, many of our intentional decisions, when it comes to sounds and arrangements and even band setup, have been happy accidents.”

After their initial musical gathering, the pair started writing songs together, exploring a sense of otherness that each had felt growing up, and pairing it with arresting musical arrangements: from bright acoustic guitars and heartbroken vocals to layers of irresistible rhythm and bold melodies. “Jess and I have shared unusually parallel experiences,” Laessig says. “We were both bullied during adolescence, which lit a fire in each of us. We have both experienced relationships and love on a similar timeline, so when we write songs together we have a natural empathy. The themes that run through this record reflect the struggles and realizations of becoming an adult, and of being a bit of an outsider sometimes, but embracing it. I think that’s something people can relate to.”

In 2007, Wolfe and Laessig moved to Brooklyn’s Ditmas Park, taking up residence at the Bromley House, which had, unbeknownst to them at the time, been a music school and recording studio for more than 60 years prior. Wolfe and Laessig established an open door policy for the strong local community of musicians. First came Molad, a drummer, producer and engineer whom Lucius sought out for some early recording sessions (he also coproduced WILDEWOMAN). He introduced them to Lalish, his former bandmate in the indie-pop trio Elizabeth and the Catapult. Later, Molad met Burri while working on a different recording project, rounding out the Lucius family. At the same time, Lucius was developing the memorable visual look the band employs onstage — “dressing the sound,” they call it. Taking inspiration from strong visual artists, and citing Bjork, Bowie, Warhol and Prince as style icons, the women are bedecked in a seemingly endless array of identical head-to-toe ensembles, complimented by the men’s sharp, tailored style. Lucius’ steady ascent shows no signs of retreat. The rest of 2014 brings Lucius full circle: amid the anniversary of their first album, a European tour and a handful of headlining US dates, the band will return to the studio to begin work on their second album.
