Watch Lucy Dacus Perform in a Subway Stairwell in Her Take Away Show

Lucy Dacus released her debut album, No Burden, this past spring, generating enough buzz to be signed to Matador Records and reissue her album—so much buzz, that would-be VP Tim Kane noted Dacus as a favorite artist of his in a New York Times opinion column.

Dacus filmed a session for La Blogothèque’s Take Away Show series last month, while on the road opening for fellow Matador wunderkinds Car Seat Headrest. The Virginia singer-songwriter brought “Direct Address,” “I Don’t Wanna Be Funny Anymore” and “Historians” to the streets and subways of New York—watch her performance above. No Burden is out now on Matador.
