Lucius is a five-piece Brooklyn-based indie-pop band, composed of lead vocalists Holly Laessig & Jess Wolfe, drummer Dan Molad, guitarist Peter Lalish, and guitarist and drummer Andrew Burri.

Laessig and Wolfe met at Berklee College of Music in 2005 and hit it off. They began writing music as a duo until moving to Brooklyn in 2007. There, they met Molad, Lalish, and Burri and expanded the band to five members. In 2013, Lucius released their debut LP, Wildewoman to widespread positive reviews, with many noting its eclectic mix of musical styles.

The group toured for two years in support of the record, during which they wrote most of their follow-up album. In March 2016, Lucius dropped their sophomore effort, Good Grief, to positive reviews. The album was a major departure from the sound of their debut and featured raw lyrics that were rawer and focused on the hardships of marriage (both Laessig and Wolfe are married).

Lucius is known for their wide array of musical styles, ranging from indie-folk and alternative rock to moody Eighties-synth. Aesthetically, the group is hyper-stylized, with Laessig and Wolfe often sporting identical, ever-changing hairstyles and outfits. The two are also acclaimed for their vocal power, harmonies, and synchronicity.
