Hear Lucy Dacus Put An Eerie Twist On A Classic '80s Power Anthem

The atmosphere of broiling dread in Lucy Dacus's new cover of Phil Collins's classic song, "In The Air Tonight," is bone-chilling and downright creepy. Dacus dropped the song today (October 8) keeps it up and continues to show why she's one hell of a cover artist. Her whispers and skin-crawling timbre make your shoulders quiver on her rendition of "In The Air Tonight." It's just in time for the year's creepiest season.


Dacus's cover takes Collins's original and stretches it up until the bones pop out of place. There's mist in the immediate background and vengeful specters lurking in the tall grass before Dacus even starts her sinister singing that sounds like a whisper. From the moment she begins, the temperate, moist climate grows chillier by twenty degrees and also you can't quite shake the feeling that something's watching you in back of your left shoulder, somewhere in the distance.


you could literally hear the moist clap of her lips touching each other as she works to keep her energy mellow. Eventually, she grows louder with the drums and zombies raise out of the ground. You back inside a corner as they slowly lumber over to you with empty eyes before breaking into a sprint. You cover your eyes as Lucy practically screams the song to you, the roar of the drums and beastly guitar the only thing louder.


Lucy is preparing to release a new EP, 2019, on November 8. It will feature a new song, "Fool's Gold," as well as a cover of "Last Christmas."
