Lucy Dacus – Forever Is A Feeling (Clear Vinyl)

Lucy Dacus' Forever Is A Feeling arrives as her fourth solo album, following the run with boygenius that brought three Grammy Awards for the record. Written between 2022 and 2024, these 13 songs turn toward adulthood, sexuality, and the upheaval of falling in and out of love, with Dacus asking what it really means to devote a life to love while knowing how fragile that feeling can be.

The album balances lush arrangements with Dacus' plainspoken, intimate writing. Source material points to a set that moves from fuller instrumental detail to more stripped-back moments, with Ankles introduced as a string-backed song of romantic and sexual longing. Elsewhere, the record keeps its focus on desire, impermanence, and the attempt to hold on to something that already feels fleeting.

There is also a strong sense of community around the record. Contributions come from Hozier, Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, Blake Mills, Bartees Strange, Madison Cunningham, Collin Pastore, Jake Finch, and Melina Duterte, while the painted cover portrait was created by Will St. John. For listeners coming from Home Video or boygenius, this is a clear next step: a more orchestral, romance-centered Lucy Dacus album that still keeps her lyrics at the centre.
