{"product_id":"picking-petals","title":"Picking Petals","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor nearly two decades, Lucia has been carving out her place as an artist in the UK indie scene. Her latest record, \u003cem\u003ePicking Petals,\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucia’s debut, \u003cem\u003eBurning Castles\u003c\/em\u003e, was streamlined and statuesque, built on metronomic beats and synth-led pop. The intention behind \u003cem\u003ePicking Petals \u003c\/em\u003esharpened into focus in the face of this. This time, it was crucial to capture the essence of Lucia and 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 Garbage’s live shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Scottish synchronicity feels poignant. This rich and historical landscape is where \u003cem\u003ePicking Petals\u003c\/em\u003e came to be, Lucia heading north to write in weather-beaten bothies alongside the band or in solitude. Likewise, the songwriter was insistent that acclaimed alt-pop producer Yves Rothman experience her stomping ground rather than sun-drenched LA, hunkering down in Mogwai’s Castle of Doom studios, a Glasgow townhouse transformed into a citadel of sound. For some people, Picking Petals will be a coming-of-age album. For Lucia and The Best Boys, it’s just coming home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Communion","offers":[{"title":"LP - Cream plus Flower Seeds","offer_id":57022401085771,"sku":"R9897-6077","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Cream","offer_id":57022401118539,"sku":"R9897-5327","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":57022401151307,"sku":"R9897-2686","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/20000000365052.jpg?v=1776093100","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/picking-petals","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
