WILDEWOMAN: THE ANNIVERSARY TOUR

Beloved Indie Band’s Set Will Include Songs From Their Acclaimed Debut + Surprises

Acclaimed indie band Lucius: Jess Wolfe (vocals, keyboards), Holly Laessig (vocals, keyboards), Dan Molad (drums), and Peter Lalish (guitar), have shared a previously unreleased track “Housewarming (The New Recording),” listen HERE.  Originally written by Wolfe and Laessig during the sessions for the band’s breakthrough LP, 2013’s Wildewoman, “Housewarming (The New Recording),” arrives as the band embarks on the 7-date Wildewoman: The Anniversary Tour.

Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig on “Housewarming (The New Recording)”:

“Revisiting Wildewoman for our upcoming 10th anniversary tour, we came across this song that we had written at the same time as the album. For one reason or another, we didn’t include it on the record – we loved the song, and to celebrate 10 years, felt like it would be fun to record it and release it to our fans. This little love song is about all the little moments in a relationship that are scary, and tender, and vulnerable, but also the trusting in it because you know you are right where you should be. Fittingly, it’s called “Housewarming (The New Recording),” and we hope it begins to feel just like home to you, too.”

The new single’s striking artwork, a painting entitled “La Conductrice et son double ou Les DS, 1965,” was created by renowned Belgian 60’s pop artist, Evelyne Axell. It’s the second time Lucius has illuminated a work by the celebrated artist Axell’s iconic 1964 paining “Ice Cream 1,” graced the cover of Wildewoman in 2013.

With stops in many of the cities where early believers first supported the band, Wildewoman: The Anniversary Tour kicked off last night in Minneapolis and includes stops in Chicago, Philadelphia, Burlington, Portland (ME), Boston and New York.

Released in 2013, Wildewoman, featured the enduring single “Two of Us on the Run” and set off a wave of critical acclaim including Rolling Stone, who called the album “fresh and thrilling,” and The Line of Best Fit, who declared “It’s quite incredible, really, that Wildewoman is a debut album. The performances are assured and impeccably crafted.”

“Wildewoman was our first born, and in a lot of ways, the one that feels closest to the chest,” say Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig. “It was the first time we really toured, had fans(!!!) singing along to our songs, traveled the world doing what we loved, and proved that with hard work & dedication, we could make a living as artists. Lately, we’ve been wanting to get back to that feeling, back to the heart of it all; we are writing new music and it’s feeling really good…but in doing that, we wanted to take a pause to honor & revisit that special time with all of you. This debut connected us with so many of you from all over the world and we can’t thank it, or you, enough.”

In addition to Wildewoman – The Anniversary Tour, Lucius recently announced a co-headline tour with Dawes. Find the itinerary + ticket info HERE.
