Lucy Dacus will release her third album, Home Video, this Friday via Matador. Last night, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she performed the newest single, ‘Brando’. Watch the performance HERE.
Dacus’ flair for storytelling is vibrant in ‘Brando’, and the Old Hollywood references she weaves throughout come to life in her endearing Kimmel performance. Filmed at the Theatre Gym at the Virginia Repertory Theatre, two dancers/choreographers, Egbert Vongmalaithong and Christina Leoni-Osion, twirl behind Dacus as she and her band perform; the scene transforms from black & white into a full spectrum of colors. This is Dacus’ second late night appearance for Home Video, following The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Dacus recently announced a run of UK & European headline shows in 2022. The UK leg will commence on March 18 at Leeds Brudnell Social Club and culminate March 25 at London’s Kentish Town Forum, before continuing to further European dates. Dacus previously announced several North American dates supporting Bright Eyes in July, followed by an extensive run of headline shows, with several of the dates already sold out.
Tickets for all tour dates are available HERE.
Lucy Dacus’ hotly-tipped third album Home Video will be released June 25th on Matador. The full-length has been previewed with acclaimed singles ‘Hot & Heavy’, which is currently playlisted on BBC 6 Music and was performed on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, ‘Thumbs, ‘VBS’, and most recently, ‘Brando’.
The follow-up to 2018’s Historian, Home Video is a gorgeous example of the transformative power of vulnerability built on Dacus’ interrogation of her formative years growing up in Richmond, Virginia. Many of the very detailed and intimate songs comprising Home Video start the way a memoir might, and all of them have the compassion, humor, and honesty of the best autobiographical writing. They capture that specific moment in time growing up where emotions and relationships start becoming more complex — the joys, the excitement, the confusion, and even the heartbreak of going through the process of discovering who you are and where people fit in your life and where you fit in theirs.
