Lucius

Known for their engaging live performances and spell-binding harmonies, Grammy-nominated indie-pop band Lucius are a mesmerizing experience of mirrored kinship and honesty. In 2025, the band released their fourth studio album, Lucius, which Rolling Stone called “the best album of their career.” Lucius' most personal and purposeful album to date explores relationships, motherhood, and life’s complexities with a unique vulnerability only made possible due to the familial nature of the band. The New Yorker praises, "The band’s new self-titled album reaches the pinnacle of a vibrant, harmonic enterprise," while Paste describes their sound as "girl-group revivalism, cosmic pop, and a kind of bicoastal harmonizing that once echoed through western canyons."  

Lucius' self-titled record follows an impressive history of critically acclaimed full-length projects. Their debut, Wildewoman, introduced their signature dual lead vocals and retro charm. It was widely praised for the album’s throwback sound with NPR declaring it "perfect, magnetic pop music" Meanwhile, The Guardian called lead singers Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig's voices “powerful … melding beautifully in harmony.” With the release of Good Grief in 2016, Lucius traded some of their folk roots for polished synth-pop. The band’s acclaimed 2022 record, Second Nature, marked a striking return, and was produced by Brandi Carlile and Dave Cobb. Released to overwhelming acclaim, the Los Angeles Times praised, “dazzling…Second Nature mines an ’80s-pop sound with lush synths and sleek disco grooves under the women’s laser-guided vocals,” while Relix proclaimed, “stunning…a 10-song, smart-pop masterpiece.”   

Throughout their acclaimed career, Lucius has performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, BBC’s Later! with Jools Holland, PBS' "Austin City Limits” and “The Kelly Clarkson Show”. Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe are some of the most sought-after collaborators in popular music due to their “otherworldly” vocals (Los Angeles Times). The duo have recorded and performed with many artists including Joni Mitchell, Mumford and Sons, The National, Harry Styles, Ringo Starr, Ozzy Osborne, Sheryl Crow, and Brandi Carlile including appearances on the Grammy stage and NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” Lucius are Laessig, Wolfe, and Peter Lalish.
