Lucia has been carving out her place as an artist in the UK indie scene. Her latest record, Picking Petals, is the culmination of that hard graft and bold vision an album rooted in her Scottish upbringing and shaped by the creative community she has built around her in Glasgow and beyond, featuring collaborations with Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES and Abigail Morris of The Last Dinner Party.Lucias debut, Burning Castles, was streamlined and statuesque, built on metronomic beats and synthled pop. The intention behind Picking Petals sharpened into focus in the face of this. This time, it was crucial to capture the essence of Lucia amp The Best Boys live shows loud and electric. In recent years, Fairfull has shared bills with a new wave of women in alternative music joining Wolf Alice on their Blue Weekend tour in 2022 and, more recently, opening for the aforementioned The Last Dinner Party. In summer 2024, she toured alongside fellow Scottish icon Shirley Manson on the UK and European leg of Garbages live shows.The Scottish synchronicity feels poignant. This rich and historical landscape is where Picking Petals came to be, Lucia heading north to write in the solitude of The Highlands alongside the band. Likewise, the songwriter was insistent that acclaimed altpop producer Yves Rothman experience her stomping ground rather than sundrenched LA, hunkering down in Mogwais Castle of Doom studios, a Glasgow townhouse transformed into a citadel of sound. For some people, Picking Petals will be a comingofage album. For Lucia amp The Best Boys, its just coming home.
