{"product_id":"no-burden","title":"No Burden","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLucy Dacus\u003c\/strong\u003e, a songwriter based in Richmond, VA, has released her debut album \u003cem\u003eNo Burden\u003c\/em\u003e via Matador Records. \u003cem\u003eNo Burden\u003c\/em\u003e is full of surprises - sharp lyrical observations, playful turns of musical phrase, hooks that'll embed themselves in your frontal lobe for days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most surprising thing about this album might be the fact that it's a debut; it has a keen sense of self about it and it nearly glows from the self-possession held by the woman at its core. Dacus started playing around Richmond while in college, opening for local acts and eventually meeting Jacob Blizard, a guitarist who invited her to make a record for a college project of his.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNo Burden\u003c\/em\u003e, which originally came out in February on the Richmond label EggHunt Records, opens with the forthright, almost brutally honest \"\u003cem\u003eI Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore\u003c\/em\u003e\", the last song Dacus wrote before the album's day-long recording session at Starstruck Studios in Nashville. Dacus delivers scalpel-sharp observations about resisting pigeonholing over chunky guitars, ticking off ideals of femininity and youth until the track's not-quite-resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNo Burden\u003c\/em\u003e is a forthright, disarmingly catchy statement. And while it's a sterling debut, it only hints at the potential possessed by this passionate, thoughtful young woman.
