Tricki-Woo [Release date 24.01.25]
Without being unhealthy stalkers we can claim some kudos for featuring Larkin Poe as far back as 2011. We reviewed one of their very early UK tours and my abiding memory is that we were kept waiting for our interview whilst the girls fiddled with their phones. They were younger then.
I asked them whether they thought they might turn their talents to the electric format…
It is fair to say that in the intervening decade or so the sisters Lovell morphed into a formidable combination blending their early Americana and rootsy influences with harder, bluesy rock. This transformation really started with the album ‘Peach’ (2017) and successive offerings have cemented their upward trajectory. ‘Blood Money’ in particular worthy of the Grammy award received in 2024.
‘Bloom’ provides another great example of their musical savvy and songwriting sheen with several real standouts. It is only when the duo take their foot off the gas that they become a little less convincing and a bit more ordinary . Tracks like ‘Little Bit’ and ‘Easy Love Pt.2′ might hark back to their early releases but really it’s ‘Bluephoria’ and ‘If God Was A Woman’ that really hit the mark.
Easy on the ears, and the eyes, Larkin Poe’s rise, and rise, continues. ****
