Lucy Dacus - "Forever Half Mast"

For us, the most exciting thing about any upcoming holiday is Lucy Dacus's holiday singles series she's releasing in 2019. Since the Fourth of July is next week, we have a new song dedicated to that holiday. According to a Facebook post announcing "Forever Half Mast," the song is about "american cognitive dissonance." Compared to her two previous holiday songs, "Forever Half Mast" is what we came to love about Lucy Dacus's 2018 album Historian. It's more alt or indie rock that starts off beautifully and then devolves into a noisy ending while still remaining beautiful. 

You can watch the lyric video for "Forever Half Mast" below. The song is available for purchase here via Matador Records. For more on Lucy Dacus, check out her website.
