5.0 classicmisty | January 1st 21

Historian has quickly become one of my favorite albums. I was shocked at how emotionally impactful and musically interesting every song on it is. Lucy beautifully weaves together relatively complex singer/songwriter songs with beautiful melodies and lyrical concepts that are so interesting and, at least for me personally, very relatable. I am so happy to have found this album and will be following Lucy for years to come.

3.5 greatthis space for rent | August 7th 18

Lucy's voice is a salve for my blighted soul. There is something wisened about this gal.

3.0 goodTheManMachine | April 18th 18

Dacus+crew's superficial downfall is imparting the sound of customary-n-cautious indie singer/songwriter -- seldom not slow too, which can make it wane. Lucy's grace and modesty as a voxer however are harder to challenge. Hers is a steady down to earth divinity that's downplayed enough to make ya proud in the rare instances that she breaks out and just belts it. Matters that stick don't hurt neither: being creative without calling yourself a creator, riots, spit, grandma turning into dust, acknowledging that you'll turn into dust while sucking on a ginger root, etc.

3.2 goodErwann S. EMERITUS | September 27th 23

Compared to 2021's Home Video, Historian lacks the catchiness that would allow these otherwise perfectly competent indie rock songs to cross the "good song/banger" frontier.

3.5 greatlz41 | July 14th 21

Dacus' quavering, tremulous vocals pair well with her heavier, slow-burning guitar tracks. Best songs: 'Night Shift', 'Yours & Mine', 'Timefighter', 'Pillar of Truth', 'Historian'
