Two years after her 2016 debut, No Burden, won her unanimous acclaim as one of rock’s most promising new voices, Lucy Dacus returns with Historian, a remarkably assured 10-track statement of intent.
Dacus and her band recorded the album in Nashville last March, re-teaming with No Burden producer Collin Pastore, and mixed it a few months later with A-list studio wizard John Congleton. The sound they created, with substantial input from multi-instrumentalist and live guitarist Jacob Blizard, is far richer and fuller than the debut — an outward flowering of dynamic, living, breathing rock and roll.
