Lucy Dacus

Lucy Dacus headlines a stacked week for new releases. NPR Music's Stephen Thompson welcomes Indie 102.3's Alisha Sweeney to share their favorites of the bunch.

Singer/songwriter Lucy Dacus's new album Forever Is a Feeling features music written about "falling in love, falling out of love." She adds, "You have to destroy things in order to create things. And I did destroy a really beautiful life."

Even as the songs on Forever Is a Feeling chronicle a love that's come to fruition in public, Dacus still creates a particular kind of safe space for the fans who delight in swooning with her.

Ryan LaCroix's favorites list includes songs by Lucy Dacus, Soccer Mommy, Santigold and more.

Clayton Bahr's 2021 favorites list includes songs by Arlo Parks, José González, Lucy Dacus and more.

Think of the best songs of 2021 as a playlist catering to the most basic human urges. Within it, booties were called, muffins were buttered and bloody revenge was contemplated. It was quite a year.

NPR's annual list of the year's best albums is full of work by musicians who hit career peaks, discovered their voices or willed something new into reality.

This August, NPR member stations bring you a mix of the most popular songs on their airwaves, featuring music from Arlo Parks, Japanese Breakfast, Lucy Dacus and more.

Here is the newest music being played on The Spy for June 29th. This week features the latest from Mountain Goats, Hiss Golden Messenger, and the debut of songwriter Maple Glider.

Dacus's third album is an intimate collection of snapshots from her youth and teen years. Both searching and empathetic, it channels what it means to revisit the past with the wisdom of distance.
