Lucius by Piper FergusonMagical Lucius—whose excellence hinges on the twinned harmonies of co-frontwomen Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig—are releasing a new record this Spring: Good Grief drops March 11 via Mom + Pop. Thus far they've only released one track (and video), "Born Again Teen," but now we have "Madness," which contains a key change (hallelujah!) and an entirely different vibe. It kicks off with rich strings and a strolling verse before knocking the listener sideways with some perfectly plush Fleetwood Mac-meets-early-Heart vibes. Can't wait for this LP to drop, plus the band hit the road this coming March.The pair had this to say about the track:“‘Madness' started off as nothing more than a transcript of a dream," explains Holly. "It was one of those vivid nightmares mixed with beautifully-surreal imagery that leaves you waking up thinking 'What the hell do I do with that?' and shaken for days."Jess continues: "After we spend days brainstormings ways to herd the subconscious into a 'moral of the story,' we discovered that some things need no explanation and looking for one may only drive you mad…"Lucius Tour DatesMarch 23 Minneapolis, MN First Ave*March 24 Chicago, IL Metro*March 25 Cleveland, OH Beachland Ballroom**March 26 Toronto, ON Opera House*March 28 Montréal, QC Fairmount Theatre*March 29 Boston, MA Royale*March 31 Brooklyn, NY Music Hall of Williamsburg*April 1 New York, NY Webster Hall*April 2 Philadelphia, PA Union Transfer**supported by Pure Bathing CultureLucius' album Good Grief is out via Mom + Pop on 3.11.
