Being Lucius is an artist from Seattle, Washington who recently released Feel. The artist mentions “The album Feel is about being honest with what's going on in ‘your world’ and trying to capture the good and the beauty out of purposeful chaos.”
The album contains ten tracks and is a nice mix of genre and style. There is a good amount of instrumentation and some great vocal performances as well. The album opens with “Feel” and mixes everything from airy pads, to arpeggiated synths, keys and much more. It felt very welcoming, relaxing but also quite joyous. He showcases more talent on “Hello Jane My Friend” which features some very dynamic vocals. He does a great job going from spoken word to more traditional singing and a number of places in between. The feeling on “Ride into the Sun (A Father’s Western)” is a little more melancholy, introspective and nostalgic at least in mood. There was a sense of levity when listening to “Welcome to the Show” which felt way more playful and loose. That being said it doesn't sound frivolous. There is this energy to it however where it feels free. The much more intimate and sparse “Bring Me Flowers” is by far the most melancholy and reflective song yet. He follows that up with “The Rain” which piggybacks on that vibe with some additional samples of rain. “The Lucky Ones’ goes outwards towards the cosmos. The pads surround you and the whole song has an otherworldly type of quality. He gets back to earth with “Morning in America'' while the closer “For You Dear (Said the Ocean)” is a lush shoegaze infused sounding song. Last up is the pensive “The Moment.” This is a great album. The recording quality and songwriting felt top notch. It’s definitely an album that benefits most from having listened to it from beginning to end. Take a listen.
