LUCY (Cooper B. Handy)

While still in high school, Cooper Handy, of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, started a Facebook page called “lucy” for the sake of anonymity in sharing his music. Most of what appeared here was distant from what “Lucy” would come to represent in the years since, but it was a fitting, could-only-exist-online start for a project that would soon be turning heads. As Lucy, lucy, LUCY, lucyboy, or L U C Y (depending on where you listen) Handy has picked and chosen elements from a wide array of genres to make a sound that is at once ‘outsider’ and unpretentious. The result is exciting, raw, and triumphant music from an artist who has made a career of producing & self-releasing videos and music, unpolished & posted in near-real time.
