Lucius, Pure Bathing Culture
Barrymore Theatre 2090 Atwood Ave., Madison, Wisconsin 53704
Shervin Lainez
The music of folk duo Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig is firmly resolute yet starkly vulnerable. This is especially so on their 2018 effort, Nudes, where the two frontwomen bare all of their complexities for the world to see. On “Right Down The Line,” they layer their haunting and rootsy voices over minimal twang to address pasts they would rather leave behind. With Pure Bathing Culture.

Praise for NUDES by Lucius
“The 10-track acoustic compilation [is] run through the band’s richly-harmonized, gently strummed filter, roughly splitting the difference between the lullabies of Azure Ray and the roots-folk of Indigo Girls.” – Relix
“…peels back the layers of elaborate production for a simple, acoustic backdrop that showcases the duo’s best assets: their vocals.” – NPR
“The winner is ‘Goodnight Irene,’ which features Roger Waters and a lo-fi quality of recording that only adds to its sweetly intimate, ‘backstage in the dressing room’ feel.” – Past
