The 21-year-old’s critically acclaimed debut album, No Burden, which was rel eased earlier this year, is out now digitally, with a re-pressing of CD and LP formats coming on September 9th.Lucy Dacus's No Burden is full of surprises—sharp lyrical observations, playful turns of musical phrase, hooks that'll embed themselves in your frontal lobe for days. But the most surprising thing about this album might be the fact that it's a debut; it has a keen sense of self about it, and it nearly glows from the self-possession held by the woman at its core.No Burden is a forthright, disarmingly catchy statement. And while it's a sterling debut, it only hints at the potential possessed by this passionate, thoughtful young woman. -Matador Records Show more
