Lucille by Selofan, which appears on their 2024 album Animal Mentality, is a gloomy trip through emotional confinement, desire, and obsession. The song transports listeners to a nighttime realm influenced by the mysterious entity that is Lucille.
The song has a brooding new wave sensibility with a post punk base, as well as a gothic undercurrent that runs throughout. Lucille is portrayed in the lyrics as an alluring, but also dangerous force.
The darkness that the track brings is further enhanced by the accompanying music video, which emphasizes the song's subjects of danger and seduction with dramatic imagery. Selofan's signature sound is present, boasting an irresistible combination of cold drum machines, immersive basslines, and highly emotive vocals.
