Lucy Dacus, Forever is a Feeling ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lucy Dacus is back with her first album since her, Phoebe Bridgers, and Julien Baker released the incredible Boygenius album, The Record, a couple years back. In fact, this is the first album from a Boygenius member since The Record. Did this unfairly heighten my expectations? I’ll be honest, yes. And did she meet those expectations? Oh yeah.
Love is in the air on this album. And not in the ironic or sardonic way, either. This is genuine, full hearted love. It’s nice to hear. And the songwriting is exquisite all around. She can turn a phrase with the best of them.
The overall sound of it is just delightful. The production has that sort of understated, faux lo-fi feel, which suits the songs and her performance greatly.
Favorite song: “Best Guess”
