Coming June 25th: the new full-length from Lucy Dacus, Home Video .

This new gift from Dacus, her third album, was built on an interrogation of her coming-of-age years in Richmond, VA. Many songs start the way a memoir

might--"In the summer of '07 I was sure I'd go to heaven, but I was hedging my bets at VBS"--and all of them have the compassion, humor, and

honesty of the best autobiographical writing. Most importantly and mysteriously, this album displays Dacus's ability to use the personal as portal into the

universal. "I can't hide behind generalizations or fiction anymore," Dacus says, though talking about these songs, she admits, makes her ache.
