Larkin Poe Announce New EP ‘An Acoustic Companion’

Larkin Poe, the Grammy nominated duo, Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, have revealed a new EP of stripped down versions of four fan favorites. “Bad Spell (Acoustic)” is the first song to be release from An Acoustic Companion, which arrives to all US and UK DSPs and streaming services via their own Tricks-Woo Records on Friday, October 5th.

Larkin Poe has become an essential force in shaping Southern Rock n’ Roll, infusing a new identity into the genre with a modern flair and feminine strength. Originally a roots-rock song from their Blood Harmony album with gritty electrified intensity, “Bad Spell” is one of several tunes on the album with equal parts sensitivity and ferocity and indelible storytelling.

“In our world, almost all of our songs start out ‘acoustic,’” says Rebeccca, “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.

Acoustic guitar and dobro opens Larkin Poe’s new single “Bad Spell,” and what a song it is. With such rich tone and soulfulness, Rebecca’s voice is gorgeous, as is the the way these two have approached the song which appeared on their album Blood Harmony. Now, in resonant acoustic fashion, this talented duo has reimagined this tune in a way only they can. Haunting, spare and downright powerful.

“From the jump, ‘Bad Spell’ was intended to be a big, bad, swaggy rock song,” Megan continues, “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. An Acoustic Companion is heralded by today’s premiere of “Bad Spell (Acoustic),” a raw new rendition of the ferocious first single from last year’s acclaimed sixth studio album, Blood Harmony. The track had its world premiere last week exclusively via Sirius XM’s The New Guy Show with Steve Ferrone on Tom Petty Radio (Channel 31), available on demand on the SXM App through Wednesday, September 13.

Long hailed as one of hardest working live acts on the road today, 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 top-billed 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 6 at Trondheim, Norway’s Tapperiet Trondheim, followed by eagerly awaited shows in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, France, the UK, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, and Spain.
