Album Review: Lucius - Wildewoman

"The pop songsmithery is enticing, but hardly wild."

More Lucius More Lucius



For every band who shoots to be “of a different era”, few do it as whole-heartedly as Brooklyn five-piece Lucius. On Wildewoman, the group channel '60s pop and groovy (far out?) melodies with what is a real and palpable love for the era. Yet for all their beauty, especially in the vocal department, the album rings a little hollow. The band know their '60s tropes well, yet never move beyond them and certainly don't have much else to say beyond this love. The pop songsmithery is enticing, but hardly wild.
