Lucius - Good Grief (Deluxe Edition) (2016)

Good Grief is built to make you move. The sophomore album from eclectic New Yorkers Lucius bubbles with kinetic energy. “Almighty Gosh” surges forth with frantic percussion and ’80s-inspired synths, while the explosive “Something About You” thumps along to an unforgettable chorus. But the band take a few breathers between the glitzy indie pop numbers (see: the dramatic “My Heart Got Caught On Your Sleeve” and folk-inflected, windswept “Dusty Trails”), making Good Grief as well-suited to your living room as the dance floor.
