Grammy-nominated indie-pop band Lucius released their highly anticipated new self-titled album May 2 via Fantasy Records—their most personal and purposeful work to date. Their fourth studio album, Lucius finds the band returning to their roots with eleven new songs written and recorded without seeking outside influence—their first time doing so since their 2013 debut. Produced by band-member Dan Molad, the record explores topics such as relationships, grief and life’s complexities, with a unique vulnerability only made possible due the familial nature of the band. Released to widespread critical acclaim, The New Yorker praises, "The band’s new self-titled album reaches the pinnacle of a vibrant, harmonic enterprise," while Paste declares, “in the versatility of these new songs…it’s clear that their homecoming is a party you’ll want to RSVP to” and The A.V. Club proclaims, "You can hear the emotional and physical growth on this record—the sound of a band confidently evolving and starting a new chapter."

Known for their engaging live performances, Lucius has been featured on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” PBS' "Austin City Limits” and “The Kelly Clarkson Show" and has toured across the world. The group just kicked off their extensive “Gold Rush Tour," which includes upcoming stops in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago and many more, in addition to joining Mumford & Sons for select shows later this year. Throughout their acclaimed career, Lucius ’Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe have also become some of the most sought-after collaborators in popular music due to their “otherworldly” vocals (Los Angeles Times). The duo has recorded and performed with artists such as Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlile, John Legend, The Killers and Harry Styles, including appearances on the Grammy stage and NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” Lucius is Laessig, Wolfe, Molad and Peter Lalish.

"Attention Bird Utopia is singer/songwriter Harrison Whitford (longtime Phoebe Bridgers guitarist and collaborator and writer for Matt Berninger, ROLE MODEL) and producer/songwriter Eli Hirsch (Suki Waterhouse, Cautious Clay.).

In the spring of 2024 Harry started coming over to Eli's home studio to play chess and rant about the world. One of the many themes discussed was a desire to give birth to songs but being constantly distracted by phones, anxiety and money. They realized that years could go by only working on other peoples records, ignoring their own creative impulse. So they agreed to meet every Friday with a new idea to share.

These meetings turned into daily sessions that gave birth to a whole new project. Their debut LP 'Best Of Kings', released in June 2025, was made in Eli's living room studio using only a few instruments, microphones and a tape machine."
