Grammy-nominated indie-pop band Lucius released their highly anticipated new self- titled album May 2 via Fantasy Records—their most personal and purposeful work to date. Their fourth studio album, Lucius finds the band returning to their roots with eleven new songs written and recorded without seeking outside influence—their first time doing so since their 2013 debut. Produced by band-member Dan Molad, the record explores topics such as relationships, grief and life’s complexities, with a unique vulnerability only made possible due the familial nature of the band. Released to widespread critical acclaim, The New Yorker praises, “The band’s new self-titled album reaches the pinnacle of a vibrant, harmonic enterprise,” while Paste declares, “in the versatility of these new songs…it’s clear that their homecoming is a party you’ll want to RSVP to” and The A.V. Club proclaims, “You can hear the emotional and physical growth on this record—the sound of a band confidently evolving and starting a new chapter.”

Known for their engaging live performances, Lucius has been featured on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” PBS’ “Austin City Limits” and “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and has toured across the world. The group just kicked off their extensive “Gold Rush Tour,” which includes upcoming stops in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago and many more, in addition to joining Mumford & Sons for select shows later this year. Throughout their acclaimed career, Lucius ’Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe have also become some of the most sought-after collaborators in popular music due to their “otherworldly” vocals (Los Angeles Times). The duo has recorded and performed with artists such as Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlile, John Legend, The Killers and Harry Styles,
including appearances on the Grammy stage and NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” Lucius is Laessig, Wolfe, Molad and Peter Lalish.

 

 

 


with Fantastic Cat

They said it couldn’t be done. Four different songwriters joining forces to form a single band? There was simply no precedent (outside of CSNY, The Beatles, The Traveling Wilburys, The Highwaymen, Monsters of Folk, etc). And yet Fantastic Cat did it anyway, defying the odds and teaming up to record their highly unanticipated 2022 debut, The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a wildly satisfying collection of folk-rock, country, Americana, and good old rock & roll” that offers “equal doses of Dylan and Springsteen,” the album earned the vocal-trading, instrument-swapping collective their national TV debut, sold-out headline dates around the US and Europe, festival performances everywhere from Sundance to Take Root, and a song in the Showtime series Tulsa King. In 2023, the unlikely four-piece teamed up with all-star producer Butch Walker for a 50th anniversary take on Wings’ “Band On The Run,” which prompted even
more love from Rolling Stone, who dubbed them “the Harlem Globetrotters of Americana.”

Individually, each member of Fantastic Cat boasts their own impressive resume along with a litany of critical acclaim. Paste declared Don DiLego’s latest album a “stunner.” NPR said Anthony D’Amato “sings and writes in the tradition of BruceSpringsteen or Josh Ritter.” Rolling Stone called Brian Dunne’s new record “the sleeper album of the year” and praised Mike Montali’s band, Hollis Brown, as “the soundtrack for a late-night drive through the American heartland.” Collectively, though, the four transcend their respective roots, emerging as velvet-clad rock and roll cooperative far greater than the sum of its parts. They say some cats are born fantastic; others have fantasy thrust upon them. These guys are somewhere in the middle.
