From the excellent new album Wilderwoman, Lucius is a band that scales well, in the sense that they can sound good in just about any venue, with just about any set-up or aesthetic. You can take their show and shrink it down to the size of our intimate SXSW sessions with the band, reveling in the sumptuous, naturalistic vocals of Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, or you can just as easily put them in a huge theater and crank things up to achieve a sound that is closer to the material found on their still-amazing Wildewoman debut LP. The two identities are quite distinct, and perhaps inspire strong feelings about which is the “real” Lucius, but both leave audiences equally rapt. We can’t wait to see how this facet of their live performance evolves as they tour for the release of their March 2016 sophomore album Good Grief.
