“We wrote ‘Impressions’ in Ethan Gruska’s home studio in Los Angeles. Together with Madi, we were exchanging ideas and feelings about the changes in our lives and how to reckon with them. The choice as to what to keep with you, and what to let go of, as we grow and evolve. And the questioning of yourself when you’re living a life you don’t recognize anymore.”
Lucius have marked their return with a funky new single ‘Gold Rush’ and an announcement of their forthcoming self-titled album.
‘Gold Rush’ features a bouncing, vintage bassline reminiscent of 70s funk along with sharp guitar riffs as vocalists Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe sing: “Sugar rushes, honey, it’s high and low / You’ve got something sweeter than liquid gold,” describing the whirlwind attraction within love.
Speaking of the single in a press release, the band shared: “‘Gold Rush’ is that addictive sweetness to love. The roller coaster highs and lows. The sugary can’t get enough of you, can’t live with you feeling that keeps you coming back for more.
“It’s energy and grit: guitars wailing, heavy backbeat, dynamic vocals which flip from verse to chorus – mellow to strong – playing off the band and echoing the sentiment of the lyrics.” Listen to ‘Gold Rush’ below.
