Lucius

I happened upon Lucius by accident. There I was, at home one evening with Sylvan Esso performing on Austin City Limits as my soundtrack. I was buzzing about before I had a chance to cue up the next musical selection of the evening. That’s when I heard them—the second band performing on that fateful episode of ACL. I stopped what I was doing, walked over to the tv, and asked who is that? Lucius, that’s who. 

I was mesmerized by the danceable pop beats, the powerful lyrics, and the fashionable lead singers whose synchronized outfits and choreography harken back to the days of Motown. And the harmonies. The harmonies. If Lucius was a guy I’d just met, I would have proposed.  

P.S. You may be wondering is that really a cd in the picture? Why yes, yes it is. I still buy cds without embarrassment or shame. Sure, I listen to Spotify, but there’s just something about having music in physical form. I’ve heard that cds are making a comeback, so maybe I’m ahead of the curve??
