Lucy Dacus has officially released her Record Store Day track, ‘Planting Tomatoes’, on streaming services – check it out below.
The singer-songwriter physically released the track last Saturday (April 18) as a Record Store Day exclusive 7-inch vinyl.
It came after she debuted it live during her performance at Auckland Laneway Festival back in February. Now, she’s shared the track on streaming platforms as her first official release of 2026.
Over a glitchy, soft rock instrumental, she explores the need to slow down, be present, and appreciate life. “You’ve gotta live the life you’re fighting for/you’ve gotta live a life you would die for,” she sings. “Can’t help thinking that I am gonna miss this/Living in the moment, I can feel the moment passing.”
It comes alongside a sweet lyric video shot by Dacus herself in Tokyo and edited by Mikayla LoBasso. It was filmed inside a stationary store, with Dacus writing the lyrics down on different scraps of paper. Check it out below.
In other news, earlier this year, Dacus brought out Chappell Roan as a special guest for her performance at Mustafa‘s Sudan and Palestine aid benefit show in Los Angeles.
She also made headlines last summer for using her All Things Go Festival set to officially marry volunteer couples from the crowd, something she has been doing throughout her recent North American tour dates after acquiring official ordained status.
She released her fourth studio album ‘Forever Is A Feeling’ last March, which included singles such as ‘Best Guess’, ‘Ankles’ and the Hozier-featuring ‘Bullseye’. She has since followed it up with two surprise new tracks, ‘Bus Back To Richmond’ and ‘More Than Friends’.
The Boygenius star also joined The Killers at Osheaga Festival in Montreal in August for a rendition of ‘Read My Mind’.
In a four-star review of ‘Forever Is A Feeling’, NME wrote: “Though it exudes plenty of joy along the way, ‘Forever Is A Feeling’ doesn’t shy away from the more daunting aspects of being totally obsessed with somebody; “This is bliss, this is hell,” Dacus sings on the title track. “Forever is a feeling, and I know it well.” Though longing and mortality have long been recurring themes in Dacus’ music, the stakes feel even higher – and even more gripping – when there’s so much to lose.”
