On her first album post-boygenius breakthrough, Lucy Dacus builds a tension of new love. Fourth LP Forever Is a Feeling plays like an interior monologue of daydreams and anxieties with a poetic intimacy of vivid moments that spark and linger, but cast bittersweetly in the tentativeness of love’s uncertainty. Dacus is determined to hold that raw feeling even while guarding against its dissolution, her understated midtempo musings wafting a sadness amid the intoxicated passion. Saddest Factory Records provides the opening support with MUNA’s Katie Gavin dishing solo debut What a Relief, and breakout UK songwriter jasmine.4.t. – Doug Freeman
