Lucy Dacus Recommendations 💛
Books recommended by musician Lucy Dacus, a solo artist and member of the band boygenius. Pulled from her goodreads list.
love letters to the sound
i'm obsessed with explorations and extrapolations of music in nonfiction, both under a microscope of a certain band and the broader lens of a genre or culture. all of these books read to me or seem to be reviewed as love letters to the sounds they explore, from the personal to the historical. the digital to the physical (just like the books themselves!) mainly this is inspired by my hero hanif abdurraqib, who does it all with a poet's heart 🎧💓
have you ever seen the rain?
does it rain all the time where you live? or maybe it hardly ever rains where you live? I’m in the latter, it hardly ever rains here, but it did last night and I was inspired to create this list. here is a list of books with rain in the title ☔️
as always, taking any and all suggestions!
Boygenius Bookclub
Every book recommended by members of the band (except for the one that must not be named). Most of these were recommended by Lucy Dacus. If you are sitting on more books which any member of the band recommended, please hit me up and I will update the list!
Music and Culture
Non-fiction books on music and culture that I’ve read (….or need to read) for my PhD in music cognition.
