Big Deal Music is pleased to announce the signing of a publishing agreement with Lucy Dacus, one of the year’s most celebrated new artists. This announcement comes just days before the September 9th re-release of her debut album No Burden on Matador Records. The 21-year-old has had a banner year, landing festival slots at Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, and touring with the Decemberists, Frightened Rabbit, Car Seat Headrest and others.
Rolling Stone already hailed No Burden as “one of 2016’s best indie rock debuts,” while Pitchfork suggests “Lucy Dacus’ No Burden is an uncommonly warm indie rock record. Lead guitar lines pour in like slow columns of sunlight, and Dacus’ voice itself is a comforting blur.”We’re very proud to be working with Lucy,” says Big Deal’s Jamie Cerreta, “clearly an important new voice with a very exciting future all in front of her. We’ll do our best to support her in every way we know how.”In July, Dacus made her television debut on CBS This Morning, performing “I Don’t Wanna Be Funny Anymore” and “Strange Torpedo.” She will be on tour this fall supporting the Matador release.
