Lucia And The Best Boys has announced her debut album.
'Burning Castles' will arrive on September 29 via Communion and feature the newly unveiled single So Sweet I Could Die, which offers an '80s-inspired glam-goth aesthetic for what the songwriter describes as, "a gritty tale of a relationship that swings between the highest of highs and the lowest of lows."
"The kind of romance where one minute you feel like you are in the depths of hell, then swimming in a pool of undeniable love the next. We sometimes find ourselves in relationships where this feels like the norm, but it’s a fine line between intense passion and a bond that can completely drain you."
It follows the fiery first preview of the record, When You Dress Up, which came out in February. Commenting on the album, she added:
"This album has been bubbling under the surface for a long time. It’s a build up of everything that I’ve experienced as a woman over the past seven years… Some of which I’ve written about in the past, but now I’m older, have a completely different, clearer understanding of and want to reword or rephrase. It’s also about the confidence that I’ve found over that time."
Lucia And The Best Boys will play Glasgow's TRNSMT in July, followed by a UK and Ireland tour in November.
