Born Again Teen

We say

Last time we featured US five-piece Lucius was back in November 2013 with their track Turn It Around. They were unsigned at that point but now they’re about to release their much-anticipated second album for Play It Again Sam, titled Good Grief. The first taster of it is this pulsing pop nugget, premiered by Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 show last month. Now added to the playlist at 6 Music and Amazing Radio, it’s also been featured by NME’s Radar and as one of the Hottest Tracks in the Sunday Times Culture section. Next up, they return to the UK this April for seven live dates in support of the album, culminating with a London gig at Koko in Camden. We last caught them perform here a couple of years ago when their superb Wildewoman debut was released, and can confirm they’re a staggeringly good and wonderfully engaging live act. You’ll get the feel for that when you hear this track - an instant joyful rush of everything you ever loved about great pop, all condensed into just under four heady minutes. Welcome to your new 2016 earworm.
