SPC Presents…Sky Larkin

Tuesday September 21st 2010 @ The Haymakers

The Leeds trio has spent the past two years honing their craft, and everyone has upped their game, thanks to a touring schedule that the sturdiest of bands would balk at. Doug Adams is playing more instruments, Nestor Matthews continues to break cymbals and invent new grimaces, and Katie Harkin is playing harder than ever.

Released 18 months to the day since their debut album, The Golden Spike, Sky Larkin have graced us with the delightful record, Kaleide, released through Wichita who cater for big hitters Bloc Party, Les Savy Fav and The Cribs

Their developing sound contains far too many curveballs to be pigeonholed. Everything from Gang of Four guitars to Joy Division/White Lies drumming make an appearance. Retaining your sprightly playfulness while making a mature comeback isn’t easy, but Sky Larkin straddle the two with ease.

“(Sky Larkin) ride comeback wave with ease. 8/10” NME

"Sky Larkin blend the great musical components of the US scene with those British sensibilities. 8/10" Drowned In Sound
