Artist:Lucius
Song:Turn It Around
Album:Wildewoman
Lucius is an intriguing indie band who have had success in the Adult Alternative market. This 2013 album is their biggest seller to date. Lucius is led by Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig. These two women were students at Berklee College of Music in Boston. They moved to Brooklyn in 2007. They formed Lucius in 2009 with guitarist Pete Lalish and drummer Dan Molad. Both guys were members of Elizabeth & The Catapult. Jess and Holly write and produce all the songs with Molad's help. He used to be married to Jess. Jess and Holly not only both sing lead but as you will see in the video, they wear marching outfits. After self releasing a 2009 album, Jess and Holly formed Lucius and released an EP in 2012. This got them a record deal with the indie label Mom + Pop Music. The 2013 album Wildewoman was their debut album. The album was praised by Paste, Rolling Stone and NPR. Lucius appeared on NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts. So the album did well for an indie band. Lucius moved to Los Angeles in 2015 to record the 2016 album Good Grief with producer Shawn Everett. Also, Jess and Holly wanted to do studio work and there are more opportunities for that in LA. They have become in demand backup singers, most notably when they toured with Roger Waters in 2017. Lucius will have a new album Second Nature coming out on Apr. 8. They will tour to support it. Here's the video gor Turn It Around by Lucius.
