The salty-sweet harmonies of Lucius returned this spring with their infectious, layered, and smart new release, Good Grief. Onstage the LA-Brooklyn duo of Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig make perfectly timed double drums and harmonizing look easy. In a world where artists like Sia and Tune-Yards have made space for drummer/producers, Lucius stands out, making a statement with songs that range from tender to electrifying. From the Prince-esque "Something About You" to the touching "My Heart Got Caught on Your Sleeve," Good Grief feels like a breakup album for the modern woman, expressing past struggles with raw emotion and pop fire.
