Lucia & The Best Boys release their second album 'Picking Petals' on 31 July. Rooted in Lucia Fairfull's Scottish upbringing and the creative community surrounding the band in Glasgow, the record expands their synth-led alternative pop into something larger and more emotionally open. Lauren Mayberry and Abigail Morris contribute to an album filled with longing, romance and the unreliable questions people ask when certainty refuses to cooperate.
Picking petals remains one of history's least scientifically rigorous methods of determining whether somebody loves you, but it has excellent visual qualities and requires no subscription. The band use that image to explore desire, doubt and the stories people construct while waiting for another person to provide a clearer answer. Album two sounds designed for bigger rooms, but its emotional uncertainty remains close enough to recognise.
