Lucy Dacus No Burden

"'Green Eyes, Red Face' and the hit-from-another-alt-era 'Strange Torpedo' continue the remarkable streak of casually unspooling melodies with hidden rooms in them, getting propulsive action from radiator-like guitar fuzz and low-mixed drums that do more from across the hall than you'd think..."
"[S]he sings confidently about insecurities and turns confessions into proclamations in insightful songs that gradually accrue in churning power."
Paste (magazine) - "'Map on a Wall' is the album's resident epic, percolating slowly for three minutes with a heavily reverbed Dacus cooing over sparse guitar....[A] debut record with an abundance of heart that should speak to anyone with a pulse of their own."
Pitchfork (Website) - "NO BURDEN is an uncommonly warm indie rock record. Lead guitar lines pour in like slow columns of sunlight, and Dacus' voice itself is a comforting blur."
