Lucius Shares TEARS FOR FEARS Cover, Rdio Session, and Announces International Tour

Brooklyn's Lucius will release a special edition Genevieve 7" vinyl on July 1 via Mom + Pop/Dine Alone Records. The vinyl will be available to purchase in the band's online store.

Genevieve will include its namesake, the infectious track from the band's debut album Wildewoman and will be B/W a cover of Tears For Fears' legendary single "Everybody Wants To Rule The World." The cover highlights Lucius' signature harmonies and delicate instrumental touches. It was unveiled on SPIN and is also available here to post and share.

Lucius' Rdio Session, which was recorded in the historic Driskill Hotel in downtown Austin, TX during SXSW, is now available exclusively on Rdio. The recording features a uniquely stripped-down take on the bands' brand of soulful indie pop.

The quintet will continue to tour throughout the summer and fall, making appearances at a variety of festivals, including Newport Folk, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, headlining dates of their own and supporting Sara Bareilles. A complete list of tour dates follows.
