Lucy Dacus and Dad Cemetary Stroll in New Video!

Hold up, music fanatics! Your fave indie star, Lucy Dacus, just dropped a fresh new music video, and it's hitting all the feels. "Planting Tomatoes" is here, and it's got Dacus giving us a sneak peek into her world, literally. This isn't some high-budget, over-the-top production. Nah, Dacus keeps it real, directing it herself. Talk about a multi-talented queen!

The clip is basically a home movie, but like, a really good one. We’re talking about a montage of moments, with Lucy and her pops just, you know, hanging out. And where are they hanging? In a cemetery! Yeah, you read that right. A graveyard. But it’s not spooky, it’s actually kinda sweet and totally chilled out. It’s got that raw, authentic vibe that Dacus is all about. Forget your usual music video tropes; this is pure, unadulterated Dacus.

The whole thing plays out in Richmond, Virginia. So, if you’re from the area, get ready to spot some familiar sights. It’s a love letter to her roots, and honestly, we’re here for it. Pitchfork caught on to all the buzz, pointing out the self-directed nature of the piece and its unique setting. It’s a bold move, and it absolutely pays off. Fans are already blowing up social media, gushing about the intimacy and genuine connection between Dacus and her father.

This video is more than just a visual for a song; it’s an extension of Dacus’s artistry. She’s always been celebrated for her deeply personal lyrics and her ability to make you feel like you’re right there with her, experiencing every emotion. This video just amps that up a notch. It’s all about the simple things, the real connections, and finding beauty in unexpected places.

The music-sphere is loving it. Critics are praising her DIY approach and the sheer honesty of the video. It’s a breath of fresh air in a landscape often dominated by highly stylized, sometimes impersonal, visuals. Dacus is once again proving that you don't need a massive crew or a huge budget to create something meaningful and impactful. All you need is a vision and a willingness to be yourself.
