The Grammy Award-nominated duo of Georgia-bred, Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, aka Larkin Poe, have unveiled a new EP collecting stripped-down versions of four fan favorites. “Bad Spell (acoustic)” is the first song to be released from An Acoustic Companion which arrives to all US and UK DSPs and streaming services via their own Tricki-Woo Records on Friday, October 5, 2023.
Robecca Lovell says:
In our world, almost all of our songs start out ‘acoustic,’ with quiet beginnings at the kitchen table on an acoustic guitar. In recording ‘An Acoustic Companion’ we really enjoyed stripping a handful of our songs back down to their roots and we hope folks will enjoy getting an earful of these songs as they originally came into being.
Megan Lovell says about the first single:
From the jump, ‘Bad Spell’ was intended to be a big, bad, swaggy rock song, but we’ve found that there’s nothing more creatively freeing than challenging and burning down one’s own preconceived notions. We did just that in re-envisioning the arrangement for ‘Bad Spell’ and letting it bloom into new life.
An Acoustic Companion will be available on limited edition 7” vinyl available exclusively during Larkin Poe’s upcoming EU/UK headline tour or through pre-order via the band’s online stores.
Larkin Poe is currently traveling on the 2023 leg of their epic Blood Harmony Tour, featuring North American festival appearances, sold-out dates alongside Blackberry Smoke, and their biggest EU/UK headline tour to date.
Upcoming highlights include performances at Camden, NJ’s MMR*B*Q 2023 (September 16), Redondo Beach, CA’s BeachLife Ranch (September 23), and Memphis, TN’s Mempho Music Festival (September 29).
EU/UK dates get underway October 6th at Trondheim, Norway’s Tapperiet Trondheim, followed by shows in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, France, the UK, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, and Spain.
