[POP] The latest album from Brooklyn’s Lucius is called Good Grief and it’s appropriately titled. It’s not a Charlie Brown reference, but more a reference to the way we bask in our own depression and anguish. In that context, the record, which is mostly about anxiety, mental illness, and heartbreak—song titles include “Madness” and “Gone Insane”—is actually pretty ecstatic and ironically gleeful as opposed to bleak and sorrowful. The record also stands in contrast to their 2013 debut, Wildewoman, which was rooted in retro vibes and organic soul sounds, where as Good Grief is far more a contemporary pop album. The band, led by look-alikes Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, comes to Asbury Hall on Wednesday, October 26. Minneapolis country-folk duo the Cactus Blossoms open the show.
