Jagwar Twin Delivers 'Lucius Lullaby'
(BLR) Reaching the apex of nearly a decade marked by repeat viral success, widespread acclaim, and sold-out shows, Jagwar Twin proudly presents his third full-length project lucius lullaby, out now via Big Loud Rock. The 15-track body of work is evocative of his signature duality, sonic split personality, and enigmatic creativity.
Listen to lucius lullaby here. After months of cryptic social teases from the sonic ringmaster, he finally introduces the two halves of Jagwar Twin by name...
Known for blending emotional intensity with dark, cinematic pop, Jagwar Twin invites listeners into a surreal world where spectacle, identity, and performance collide on lucius lullaby. "Roy and Lucius are Jagwar Twin," he divulges. These two characters show different instincts from the same realization. One seeks clarity beyond the system, while the other chooses to master it from within."
"Roy operates strictly from the heart. He doesn't worry about money, numbers, or success. He trusts what aligns with his soul. lucius is the intellect. He's saying, 'I'm a f***ing genius. I'm going to make the biggest hits with viral success and earn billions of dollars. And you won't get in my way'. He has been inside my inner world for a long time, but I let him out and went full lucius on this album."
Speaking of "full lucius," the single "weirdness" sees Jagwar Twin step into his power like never before. It commences with a personal voice memo left by Sia, who proclaims, "Your weirdness is the sunshine." He co-opted those wise words for the track's chorus, layering laidback vocal transmissions above a sun-kissed beat, off-kilter acoustic guitar, and strategically placed strings. Cutting deep, he gets personal with the lyrics, going on to reflect, "I grew up fast as lightning. I changed my name. No other child was like me. Why am I this way?"
The 15-track project features the Top 40 US radio hit "bad feeling (oompa loompa)," as well as previous singles "not your homie" and "welcome to the circus." The latter track has amassed nearly 5 million global streams, and its visualizer has garnered over 1 billion YouTube views.
Following the viral success of "Happy Face" (RIAA Certified Gold) and Top 40 US radio hit "bad feeling (oompa loompa)," Jagwar Twin has earned over 1 billion global streams, 1 billion YouTube views, and 10 billion fan-driven viral moments worldwide. In 2024, he supported Thirty Seconds to Mars on their global arena tour.
As a songwriter and producer, Jagwar Twin's collaborations span music and film - from Lana Del Rey's "Say Yes to Heaven" and "Big Eyes" (the title track for Tim Burton's 2014 film) to Travis Barker, Josh Dun (Twenty One Pilots), Alesso, Martin Garrix, 5 Seconds of Summer, and Avril Lavigne.
