Lucy Dacus

It makes sense that Lucy Dacus is often compared to Julien Baker; they are great friends and share quite a bit in common. They’re both Southerners and have a preternatural talent for writing affecting, often devastating songs. But while Baker deals primarily in acoustic tunes, Dacus’ music is much more expansive, bringing some power-pop volume. Her critically acclaimed sophomore album, Historian, was released earlier this year. With And the Kids, Adult Mom.
