Review

In the lush landscape of "Historian", Lucy Dacus weaves a tapestry of tender introspection, where the threads of love, loss, and personal history entwine to form a deeply human narrative. This sophomore album is a masterclass in emotional resonance, with Dacus' poignant lyrics rising like mist from the page, evoking the literary grandeur of Tolstoy and Knausgård.

Musically, "Historian" is a subtle alchemy of indie rock and folk, with Dacus' voice shining like a beacon, imbuing each note with the weight of her emotional intensity. The instrumentation is sparse, yet precision-crafted, allowing her vocal delivery to pierce the veil and touch the listener's soul.

This album is a triumph of lyrical depth and sonic cohesion, a testament to Dacus' growing prowess as a songwriter and storyteller. "Historian" is a poignant and immersive experience, one that solidifies Dacus' position as a rising star in the indie rock firmament. - Ariana
