As Larkin Poe prepare for the release of their new album, 'Venom & Faith', the duo have unveiled the video for its lead track and posted a new song.
The Nashville-based sister duo first shared Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues last month alongside details of the LP, which will arrive on November 9 through Proper Music. The siblings said: "The song was so so late in coming into creation that it almost didn’t make it onto the record! It was such a fun lyrical jigsaw to piece together: this rhythmic picture of a bombastic, larger-than-life woman."
Talking about the second track to be shared from the record, Sometimes, Megan and Rebecca Lovell said:
"We first heard Sometimes being sung by blues legend Bessie Jones. Her 1960 recording of the song is powerful, raw, and - except for a few sparse hand claps - completely a cappella. We were transfixed and had to create a Larkin Poe rendition. We wove some new lyrics into the fabric of the song and we even wrote out parts for a horn section in the bridge! Bessie Jones was a Georgia girl too, so we find it especially cool to sing this song in her honor."
The follow up to 2017's 'Peach' was recorded in Nashville earlier this year between headline dates and festival sets, with production duties handled by both the band and their longtime engineer Roger Alan Nichols. They will accompany the release with a European tour, including a London show at the Islington Assemly Hall on November 21.
Larkin Poe Upcoming Tour Dates are as follows
Wed November 21 2018 - LONDON Islington Assembly Hall
