“‘Home Video’ is her most personal album to date, recounting her coming of age, in Richmond, Virginia. She sings about lost friendships, queer love affairs, curfews, and other adolescent pursuits… 'I’ve been thinking about living in the present,’ Dacus said. 'My record is so much about the past that people are asking me about time a lot.'” Rachel Syme of The New Yorker goes kayaking with Lucy Dacus.

Filmed by longtime collaborator and friend Reuben Bastienne-Lewis in Amsterdam and Paris during that short run of shows and other performances captured throughout the years, the near half-hour performance special offers fans a glimpse into a live tour that never was, while also reminding them of the artist’s unique stage presence and incredible performances delivered across his entire catalogue.
'You Heat Me Up, You Cool Me Down’ features a setlist of 17 songs that span the acclaimed artist’s entire discography including fan favorites “Easy Easy,” “Baby Blue,” “Out Getting Ribs” and more. In addition to the album’s upcoming digital release, the project is slated for a physical LP release on December 10th. A very limited amount of LP purchases will be bundled with an exclusive zine featuring tour and BTS photos curated by Archy.
“Once spilt into the cheap 4 tracks and pirate software, now collosos energy redeemed into small diaphragms. Sat on toilets imagining the moment other animals would sing the very vibrations back to them. Climbing a ladder of fulfilment, that fullfills neither need or want, but in ascent maybe the organised grouping of heartbeats pounding into the universe for an hour and a half would not be better spent.
“I felt comfortable for once, young and uncomfortable with a tunnel of anxiety to walk through.”
