Lucy Dacus sits down with Kyle Meredith to discuss her latests solo record, Forever Is a Feeling. The singer-songwriter unpacks the new album’s lush poetry, the angelic iconography behind its cover, and the raw intimacy of performing in churches and museums. Listen above or wherever you get your podcasts.
Touring behind the new record (get tickets here!), Dacus found herself gravitating towards sanctuaries both literal and spiritual. “Places like that always feel super reverent whether or not you’re religious,” she says of the cathedrals and churches she’s played in. “They inspire a quietness and an introspection that I really like.” That same thoughtful hush permeates Forever is a Feeling, an album that glides between dreamlike atmospheres and confessional clarity.
Of course, she didn’t go it alone. The record brings together a who’s who of kindred spirits, from Hozier to Madison Cunningham to Bartees Strange, along with her boygenius bandmates Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker (also her romantic partner), appearances that feel like a tight-knit mixtape of indie rock’s most emotionally articulate voices. “It’s cool to be at the point where I’ve now met some of my heroes and I can just text them, like ‘Are you around?’” she laughs.
Dacus also reflects on how time — the lost, the cherished, the fleeting — runs through these songs like a quiet drumbeat. “You don’t have unlimited time, so you have to make the most of it.”
