LUCIUS‘ REIMAGINED WILDEWOMAN (THE NEW RECORDINGS) OUT TODAY VIA FANTASY
Beloved Indie Band Celebrates Wildewoman’s 10th Anniversary with an Enhanced Re-Imagining of Their Breakthrough LP
Today, acclaimed indie pop group Lucius: Jess Wolfe (vocals, keyboards), Holly Laessig (vocals, keyboards), Dan Molad (drums), and Peter Lalish (guitar) released Wildewoman (The New Recordings), an enhanced re-imagining of their breakthrough debut LP, via Fantasy Records. Produced and Mixed by Dan Molad at Altamira Studios and Sounds Like a Fire Studios in Los Angeles, this newly recorded, 13-track record enriches the original album’s instrumentation and sonics, widening and deepening these remarkable songs. Find Wildewoman (The New Recordings) HERE.
Previously, Lucius shared the album’s gorgeous, pulsating lead track “How Loud Your Heart Gets (The New Recording),” and the exquisite ballad “Go Home (feat. Marcus Mumford)(The New Recording”. The new set also includes “Tempest (feat. Devon Gilfillian) (The New Recording),” and, on the CD and vinyl version, the previously unreleased “Housewarming (feat. Brandi Carlile) (The New Recording)”.
Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig on Wildewoman (The New Recordings):
“Wildewoman has stood the test of time; it was how so many listeners found us, and still find us – it laid the path for this incredibly solid commitment with our audience that we couldn’t have anticipated. So, when the thought of revisiting and re-recording the album came about, we jumped at the opportunity to give our fans something special to say thank you in celebration of ten wonderful years together. It would be an homage to the original, digging into details of the record we hadn’t listened to in years, while also bringing a wisdom and freshness to it. Playing those songs on the road night after night, year after year, brought a natural sense of ease to these sessions. We could come at it with more experience, more discernment, and take liberties with some of the arrangements. We brought back the original 5 members and invited friends to collaborate with us. This home-of-a-record was even more lived in and loved.”
The new LP’s striking artwork is a painting entitled “Le mur du son – ©1966,” by renowned Belgian 60’s pop artist (and feminist pioneer) Evelyne Axell. Admirers of Axell’s bold and symmetrical geometric colors, Wolfe and Laessig have utilized the celebrated artist’s classic imagery on several previous occasions including Axell’s iconic 1964 painting “Ice Cream 1,” which graced the original cover of Wildewoman in 2013. Each track on the upcoming record will be accompanied by an animated lyric video showcasing Axell’s work — watch them HERE.
