If youre going to any music festival, Lucius is exactly the type of band you want to get to know. Set aside what they actually sound like and what you might expect from their live performance, you will instantly earn a shit-ton of social currency for knowing a girl-band that isnt HAIM, which will be a band every entry-level festival goer will be talking about, but youll know.

Ok, so Lucius has other members of the band who arent female, so calling them a girl-band isnt accurate, but with two incredibly talented females on lead vocals and keys; the star of the show isnt the dude with armpit stains standing kinda off to the side on bass.

Lucius has a sound that slides across a pretty weird genre line, from folk rock with the faintest twang, to some straight up thumpy pop music that might make you want to shake it just a little. Its good to be the type of band you cant quite nail down, but what is constant throughout their debut full-length, Wildewoman, is the two-is-better-than-one vocal styling of, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig.

Shouts to longtime friend of Pinpoint, Andrew Rowley, for his phenomenal work with Rdio on the Lucius video for their single, “Turn It Around.”
