Lucius (Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe) are releasing a new album, Second Nature, on April 8 via Mom + Pop. Now they have shared its fourth single, “Dance Around It,” which features Brandi Carlile and Sheryl Crow. It was shared via a “selfie video” featuring Lucius, Carlile, Crow, and some of their fans. Watch it below.

Laessig and Wolfe collectively had this to say about the song in a press release: “In many ways ‘Dance Around It’ cracked the intention for the entire record; to dance through the darkness. To take what may have been isolating and internal, and instead, make it loud, and put it on display—give it legs to dance. When we brought it to the studio, we asked our dear friends and collaborators (pinch me) Sheryl Crow and Brandi Carlile to sing with us; they were so present and instrumental during the writing and recording of our record—and hearing them sing on this track felt like dancing through that last part of a dark tunnel.”

Previously released songs from the upcoming album are “Next to Normal,” “White Lies,” and “Heartbeats.” Second Nature is the band’s third studio album and their follow-up to 2016’s Good Grief. Last year, they were featured on the song “I Don’t Live Here Anymore” by The War on Drugs.
