about

This Chicago based trio are about quick and irrevocably soft hooks that are catchy enough to get you moving. Jeremy Freer delivers his vocals in pleading dulcet tones that float over the smooth rhythms of John Sewell's (of Duvall fame) roaming bass and driving beats of Erica Corniel's drums.

Lucida brings a simple proposal to those who will listen. "I've got a bunch of bombs ready to explode." And this is what this Chicago based trio are about: quick and irrevocably soft hooks that are catchy enough to get you moving. Jeremy Freer delivers his vocals in pleading dulcet tones that float over the smooth rhythms of John Sewell's (of Duvall fame) roaming bass and driving beats of Erica Corniel's drums (this is to say nothing of her sultry backing vocals).

On Lucida's debut self titled e.p. the band establishes there almost classic approach to the art of garage rock giving the listener five enjoyable tracks. Starting off with the pop-ridden "beautiful bombs" the e.p. instantly institutes the feel of a White Stripes single. But the e.p. won't simply fall into this formula; on "I won't pretend" the band takes command of their sound and delivers a soft salacious opus. Erica's vocals bleed sexual energy with an almost Billy Holiday quality while Jeremy's sooths her tension filled performance. The e.p. is fleshed out with rock that will keep you happy for it entirety. This is a musical journey that you must experience to understand.
