Lucy Dacus is preparing to release a new companion album titled Forever Is A Feeling: The Archives on October 10. This album complements her previous work, Forever Is A Feeling, released in 2025. The Archives edition will include demos, unreleased tracks, and a live version of her duet ‘Bullseye’ featuring Hozier.

Dacus shared insights on her Instagram, describing the project as a way of “clearing the decks” for upcoming ventures. She likened the compilation to a scrapbook, capturing everything left from the previous album.

The duo originally performed this track live in March at the National Gallery of Ireland during the Irish TV series Other Voices.
