Larkin Poe will release a new studio album, Blood Harmony, via Tricki-Woo Records on November 11. The duo consisting of sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell unveiled the pending LP’s lead single, “Bad Spell.”
Co-produced by Larkin Poe with Rebecca’s husband, Tyler Bryant, the 11-track follow-up to 2020’s Self Made Man was mostly recorded at Rebecca and Tyler’s home studio. The group’s sixth studio album features Megan providing harmony vocals, lap steel and resonator guitar with Rebecca on guitar and keyboards. Additionally, Larkin Poe recruited drummer Kevin McGowan and bassist Tarka Layman from their longtime touring band to contribute to Blood Harmony.
“When steering by your own stars, you never quite know where you’re going to wind up,” stated Larkin Poe regarding Blood Harmony. “Our true north is unique to us, and in following our true north without compromise, we have been out freewheeling this world on the ride of our lives. And it still feels like just the beginning. Blood Harmony is a creative step we are proud to have taken together as sisters. We grew these songs in a sweet part of our hearts and we hope they bring beauty.”
“Bad Spell” arrived with a video directed and edited by Houston Mathews. “Ever since I heard ‘I Put a Spell on You’ by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins for the first time I’ve wanted to write a female response to it,” noted Rebecca Lovell. “I’d had the title ‘Bad Spell’ in my journal for years, and it was so fun to create a song where the riffs and guitar tones have that singular purpose of nastiness and swagger.”
