Our pick of the albums reviewed on these pages during the past seven days is the third studio LP from Lucy Dacus, Home Video. Here’s your chance to revisit the review and check out the album via Spotify.
“Such is the zero-sum game that is, well, everything now, it’s hard to imagine being able to claim that nearly all the most interesting musical projects have been curated, owned or driven by women over the last 18 months without taking lumps from enraged fans of, say, Run The Jewels, Fontaines D.C. or For Those I Love.”
“Yet the evidence is undeniably there, and Lucy Dacus has made her own eloquent case, both as a member of Boygenius with Julien Baker and the omnipresent Phoebe Bridgers (just don’t call it a supergroup) alongside what is now three albums of her own, each of which has showcased an impressively evolving talent as a storyteller.”
“Home Video lurks thematically, as the title suggests, with more than one foot in the past, a history which saw the Virginian raised within the web of Christian education that in largely secular Europe seems almost unthinkably antiquated.”
