Lucius headed up to Smuggler Mountain’s old mine near the Aspen Ideas Festival and kicked things off with the echo-friendly “Dusty Trails” deep in the Cavern. They then moved outside for a sunlit set overlooking the Roaring Fork Valley, spinning through “Final Days,” the sugary “Gold Rush” (where Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig’s harmonies really shine) and wrapping up with the heartfelt ballad “Mad Love” (complete with a few grasshoppers chiming in).

Behind the scenes, a tight-knit crew led by director Mito Habe-Evans, editor Nickolai Hammar and audio engineer Neil Tevault helped pull off the rustic meets indie-pop gig, with shout-outs to everyone from Smuggler Consolidated Mines to local friends who made the whole field recording dream a reality.
