Glasgow alt-pop outfit Lucia & The Best Boys release their second album ‘Picking Petals’ on 31 July. The record expands the group’s dramatic alternative pop with guest appearances from Lauren Mayberry of Chvrches and Abigail Morris of The Last Dinner Party. Songs including ‘Lonely Girl’, ‘Wolf Cry’, ‘Pleasure And A Prayer’ and ‘Big Romance’ suggest a collection interested in desire, uncertainty and emotional theatricality.
Lucia Fairfull’s voice remains the centre, moving between vulnerability and full-scale release as the arrangements grow around her. Album two gives the band an opportunity to sharpen the emotional scope of their debut without abandoning its immediacy. Picking petals remains a questionable method of relationship analysis, but it is considerably more melodic than checking somebody’s online activity.
