Lucy Four – Burn in Paradise (2018)

The musicians of Lucy Four have been sweating for thirty years on the boards that signify the underworld. They do not like to force themselves into meaningless drawers. Lucy Four make rock music in the best 70’s tradition, which is therefore not “retro”.

At the center is the song. And the song lives on the groove first and foremost, for which Pidi Leuenberger on the drums and Kudi Heeg on the bass take care of it. A perfectly oiled machine for decades, the light-footed yet ultra-hardy and with a lot of punk rock attitude goes to work. On top of that, Rey Misterio lays down on the essentials reduced guitar riffs, which instantly go up in the legs and tickles catchy solos from his half-acoustic, which radiate in spheres beyond typical rock clichés. All you need is a singer like Pascal Henchoz, who not only owns a golden rock tube, but also has the fine touch for really cool, catchy choruses, and the Lucy Four sound is ready. The producer Reto Peter (Green Day, Counting Crows, Flipsyde u..v.a.) Deliberately kept earthy-warm, raw and with a lot of dynamic live-pressure. No monstrous guitar walls, no drum samples, no subsequent polishing, no frippery. Lucy Four is a band that sounds like she’s playing rather than the way she’s done in the studio. The album “Burn in Paradise” groovs, crashes, whistles and thunders and also blurs gloomy souls from the first to the last note with anthemic chicken skin moments. Fast straight lines in the face, heavy blows in the stomach, ass kicking in staccato and ecstatic massages for relaxation: that’s Lucy Four. Rock’n’roll for adults!
