Home Video by Lucy Dacus

Home Video, Lucy Dacus' third album, arrived on Matador on June 25, 2021, from the Richmond, Virginia songwriter whose No Burden had won her the Matador deal and whose Historian had made the critics sit up. She is also one-third of Boygenius, alongside Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers, but this one is all hers.

It moves easily between indie rock, lo-fi murmur and clean pop shapes, a record that sounds like old tapes found in a drawer and played back with the lights low, the kind of intimacy that makes a small detail land like a punch. "Thumbs", "Hot & Heavy", "VBS", "Brando" and "Going Going Gone" all went out as singles, and the album drew critical acclaim and a place on plenty of year-end lists.
