Lucius Shares ‘Old Tape’ Single Featuring The War On Drugs’ Adam Granduciel

Lucius shared a new single, “Old Tape,” featuring The War On Drugs’ Adam Granduciel. The track, arriving with a video starring Lucius’ Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig as well as Fred Armisen, is set to land on a forthcoming studio album from the group slated for a 2025 release.

The new album follows Lucius’ 2022 studio effort Second Nature and Wildewoman (The New Recordings), the latter celebrating the 10-year anniversary of 2013’s Wildewoman.

“Old Tape” is the first preview of Lucius’ upcoming album. The band detailed the new song:

“We wrote ‘Old Tape’ while working on new music at Danny’s studio in LA; we were discussing the loops we get stuck in, the rabbit holes our minds go down, even getting nerdy on epigenetics—the voices in our heads that might not be our own, and ultimately, how to quiet that noise and let it all go. We wanted to make something that was both driving and uplifting and no one does it better than The War on Drugs…so after building a landscape, we called our dear friend, Adam, to see if he’d lend his beautiful vocals and guitar. He graciously and enthusiastically accepted and it really brought the track to life. Produced and mixed by our longtime bandmate Dan Molad.”

Along with Wolfe, Laessig, Molad and Granduciel, players on “Old Tape” include Peter Lalish and Oliver Hill. Watch Holly, Jess and Fred Armisen in the video for “Old Tape” below:
