Listen to “Night Shift” below (or via your streaming service of choice here), plus Dacus’ 2016 Daytrotter Session (one of last year’s very best), and find the Historian tracklist and album art further down, plus the lead single’s lyrics. “This is the album I needed to make,” says Dacus, who sees Historian as her definitive statement as a songwriter and musician. Needless to say, Historian, produced by Collin Pastore in Nashville and mixed by Grammy winner John Congleton, is one of our most anticipated albums of 2018. It’s safe to say that Dacus is a favorite of ours: The Richmond-based indie songstress was one of Paste’s best new artists of 2016, her debut LP No Burden made our top 10 albums of last year and album opener “I Don’t Want to Be Funny Anymore” landed in the top five on our list of 2016’s best songs. “You don’t deserve what you don’t respect.” Nowhere near content with being neglected, Dacus is so driven to put the past behind her that she takes the titular night shift: “You got a 9 to 5, so I’ll take the night shift / and I’ll never see you again if I can help it.” It’s no less ferocious for Dacus’ delicate delivery. Forget you ever saw me at my best,” commands Dacus.
“Night Shift,” Historian’s opening track, is a scathing ode to an unfaithful lover. Historian is due out on March 2 via Matador Records, and with its unveiling, Dacus has shared her first-ever breakup song, the devastating “Night Shift.” Listen below, and listen good. We’ve been waiting a long while to write these words: Lucy Dacus has announced her sophomore album. Daily Dose is your daily source for the song you absolutely, positively need to hear every day.
