Lucie
Polished arena rock with a gritty, melancholic edge. Powerful dual vocals and cinematic synths define the sound of Czechia's most iconic post-1989 musical export.

Lucie sounds like the transition from the gray concrete of the Eastern Bloc to the neon-lit energy of a modern European capital. Their music is built on a foundation of muscular, percussive rock, but it is elevated by a sophisticated use of synthesizers and lush studio production that gives every track a cinematic, wide-screen feel. There is a persistent tension between David Koller's sharp, rhythmic drumming and the melodic, often psychedelic guitar work of Robert Kodym.
What truly sets them apart is the vocal dynamic between Koller and Kodym. They trade lines and harmonize in a way that feels both competitive and perfectly synchronized, moving from raspy rock shouts to vulnerable, breathy ballads. Their 1990s output, particularly the landmark album Černý kočky mokrý žáby, introduced an industrial-lite grit and dark atmosphere to mainstream pop-rock that remains unmatched in the region.
Start with Černý kočky mokrý žáby if you want to hear the band at their most creative and intense peak. For a more melodic, radio-friendly introduction, In the Sky offers the perfect balance of 90s alternative energy and massive hooks that defined an entire generation of Czech music fans.
Lucie (Czech pronunciation: [ˈlutsɪ(j)ɛ]) is a Czech rock band.

Over the next sixteen years, the band released seven studio albums, two concert albums, and one compilation album. On 2 October 2004, the group entered a "planned creative break" that ended in December 2012.
