I just listened and holy shit I think she’s right, this is the best song she has recorded wow. I loved it. Very hyped for the new LP now. The other times I’ve listened were at shows and I don’t have a ton of memories other than saying the song is good after hearing it live.
Started to play and had to stop after a few seconds, not gonna waste a first Lucy listen on that quality. Very hype tho!
I don’t think I’ve ever been hit harder by a Lucy Dacus song (or many other songs, for that matter) when I heard it live. This holds true for the low quality vhs “rip”. Absolutely flooring.
Is this Dropbox link what she wants? I guess the hype cycle is worth it. I bet the song’s coming out officially this week anyway, so I’ll wait.
I read that Matador was hoping the song got leaked, kind of like the Hayley Williams situation where she gave her new song to a fan and she said they could leak it. I don’t know how true that is but it seems plausible.
The song coming out this week seems likely with an album announcement as well. I run a fan group for Lucy on Facebook and her parents are in the group and they confirmed Thumbs is on the album recently but didn’t give any other details.
