LUCIUS

It takes a bit of a spin around the proverbial grooves to absorb the swirling, dual female vocals — think female chorus of The Mamas and the Papas meeting Neko Case in a fanciful realm — and once the band’s hybrid of pop, Americana, R&B and torch ballads gels, the result is eccentric and intriguing. Harmony is the key for Lucius, with spare-yet-astute percussion and guitars giving the commingling vocalists a trippy lift on its 2013 debut, Wildewoman. (Samir Shukla)
