Lucia And The Best Boys have shared the title track of their upcoming debut album.
One of the first songs penned for 'Burning Castles', whic is due out through Communion on September 29, it offers a dramatic, gothic, post-punk aesthetic. Songwriter Lucia Fairfull commented:
"I wrote Burning Castles about the onslaught of emotions that your body goes through when you receive bad news; that sudden and overwhelming weight that bears down on you when the news hits you.
"I love making something sound soft and graceful when the meaning and the experience that I’m writing about is pretty much the opposite. That sort of juxtaposition of the music and the lyrics is something that I’m prone to doing, but I think that it always manages to capture the way that I really feel in a way that makes sense to me."
It'll be joined on the record by the earlier singles So Sweet I Could Die and When You Dress Up.
Led by Fairfull, the Glasgow four-piece will support the LP with a previously announced UK and Ireland tour in November, following a slot on the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading andLeeds at the end of August, and in-store dates in October.
