Lucy Dacus has released her new single “Forever Half Mast.” The track, is the third single from Dacus’ 2019 holiday song series, “Forever Half Mast” follows her Valentine’s Day-inspired cover of ‘La Vie En Rose’, and original ode to Mother’s Day and Taurus Season, “My Mother & I”. Still to come in Lucy’s 2019 singles series are tracks tied to Springsteen’s Birthday, Halloween, Christmas, and New Year’s, with a physical EP of the collection coming in the fall. In “Forever Half Mast,” Lucy drew inspiration for the song from her experiences touring in Europe, where she was starkly confronted by the complexities of her American identity, and by what it means to be a proud American in these trying times.

From Lucy Dacus:

“There is a daily dissonance one endures as an American wherein much of our joy is counterweighted by shame, where much of our pride lives in tandem with injustice and suffering. 'Forever Half Mast' is about confronting this unavoidable culpability as an American citizen and consumer. Instead of allowing this guilt to
paralyze us, we should try to let it influence us in positive ways”.

Dacus just concluded a headline UK and European tour, which included selling out her biggest London show to date at EartH, and festival slots at Primavera and Best Kept Secret. Her upcoming 2019 schedule features a co-headlining performance with Julien Baker for a live taping of Austin City Limits on July 30, to be aired later this year.
