Lucian Rice announces debut EP 'right now, forever' + shares new single 'ninezero'

27 August 2024 - 0 Comments

Today, Aotearoa/New Zealand-born and based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Lucian Rice announces his debut EP, right now, forever, set for release October 7. Alongside the announcement, Lucian has released his latest single off the forthcoming EP, ninezero, a track musically reminiscent of early 2000's film soundtrack. Listen to ninezero HERE.

Following the release of his debut single spineback and recent releases brand new day and can’t you see, ninezero builds on his signature blend of nu-gaze, dream pop and alternative rock with raw, distorted guitar riffs that drive the song's energy.

This is such a frankenstein song”, Lucian reflects. “I had this demo called ‘lookalike’ I made when I was like 17 that I found and was just like ‘wow this kinda has some bones to it.’ Spent like an hour tryna revamp it but ended up making another song called ‘scream’ – which ended up being the bridge. Bashed that together with the chords from lookalike + this noise loop I made and got ninezero. So it took like 4 years to make the song, but also only took me like a day of just being like ‘ohhh’ to make sense of it”.

Reflecting on the forthcoming EP, Lucian shares, "In a real sweet way, it feels like the end of the beginning. Not as confronting as a ‘goodbye’ to teenhood, but a reminder that things change. The whole right now, forever thing is like - it's only gonna be today for the rest of your life, so why not adore shit when it's right there? You can always look forward, but then the years go by and you can't help but look back. So I just try and appreciate today because these songs were all just that at one point too. Those good & bad moments all made up what now is and will always be, so I'm pretty happy with it being right now, forever.”

Having spent time split between New Zealand, New York and Los Angeles, Lucian has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, further expanding his creative horizons. Working alongside talents such as Nick Ward, carwash, and Molly Payton, Lucian demonstrates his versatility and prowess as an artist, producer, and songwriter. Emerging onto the music scene with a fresh perspective, Lucian is just getting started.

right now, forever is out on Monday October 7.
