Lucy Dacus' new album Forever Is A Feeling, the follow-up to her 2021 album Home Video and her first album since her band boygenius got Grammys-level big, arrives at the end of this month. We've heard a lot of it already with the singles “Ankles,” “Limerence,” “Best Guess,” and she played a bunch of unreleased songs at a church in Brooklyn last month. Today Dacus has shared another single called "Talk."
"Talk" reminds me of boygenius at their rockiest, backed by a beefy electric guitar chug that gradually gets noisier. But even when the fuzz really takes over, Dacus' smooth vocals come out on top: "Why can't we talk anymore?/ We used to talk for hours/ Do I make you nervous or bored?" Ouch!
Earlier this week Dacus also shared the Forever Is A Feeling tracklist on Instagram, with accompanying illustrations by Nicole Smith. There's a duet with her pal Hozier; she's previously announced that the record will feature Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, Blake Mills, Bartees Strange, Madison Cunningham, Collin Pastore, Jake Finch, and Melina Duterte, but I guess they're just in the background.
