Historian is Lucy Dacus’s second album, a beautifully layered meditation on grief, growth, and transformation. With her signature literary songwriting and sweeping arrangements, Dacus navigates personal and political themes with striking clarity and emotional power.

The album opens with the slow-burning epic “Night Shift,” setting a tone of catharsis that runs through the entire record. From the introspective calm of “The Shell” to the urgent energy of “Addictions” and the orchestral swell of “Pillar of Truth,” each track is a carefully constructed chapter in a larger story about what we carry and what we leave behind.

Historian is at once intimate and expansive, confirming Lucy Dacus as one of the most thoughtful and compelling voices in modern indie rock.
