Larkin Poe - Self Made Man (12/06/20)

• Release Date: June 12th 2020

• Genre: Blue, Rock, Americana

After a remarkable two-year run that saw them earn a GRAMMY® Award nomination for their last chart-topping studio album while touring the world from Nashville to New Zealand and back again, Larkin Poe have returned with what is undeniably their most wide-reaching, artistically adventurous, and self-determined work to date.

Once again taking the producer reins and releasing on their own Tricki-Woo Records label, SELF MADE MAN, sees the multi-instrumentalist sister duo, comprised of the Atlanta-bred, Nashville-based Rebecca and Megan Lovell, pushing their music and message towards hitherto unexplored terrain, inspired by their epic world travels yet still powerfully rooted in the creative heritage of their beloved American South. From the thunderous power of the album-opening "She's A Self Made Man," through the nostalgic "Tears of Blue to Gold" and fierce Chicago blues of "Scorpion," to the front porch jubilation of "Easy Street," the album is ambitious in both its eclectic, energetic sound and its resolutely welcoming mission, its universal lyrical approach fueled by tradition, invention, and Larkin Poe's remarkable ability to touch the hearts and souls of their fellow humans worldwide.

Dustbowl Revival - Is It You, Is It Me (31/01/20)

• Artist: Dustbowl Revival

The excellent 'Is It You, Is It Me', is LA-based Dustbowl Revival's 5th studio album over almost 12 years, It reveals the band moving in an exciting new direction. Instead of Dixieland Jazz and Depression-era folk songs, this new collection mines an energizing vein of Soul, Funk and Roots-infused Rock.

The band uses a wide variety of genres and sounds on the album. True to their claim that their music is a “place where folk music, funk and soul meet,” the album also exhibits influence from jazz, pop and Latin music. The lead singers Lupetin and Liz Beebe, whose voices are rich and strong when they sing separately, harmonize for a sound that is plaintive and encouraging. The trumpet and trombone, played by Matt Rubin and Ulf Bjorlin, add a layer of velvety melancholy to most of the songs. Nearly every song relies on the two horn players to enrich the emotional experience and are one of the band’s best strengths.

Like their earlier work, Is It You, Is It Me shows a range of styles that the band incorporates for a cohesive sound, but the album departs from their last album in its preoccupation with complexity and contradiction. This album is more introspective in content, more emotional in mood and more lush in sound. The album is a fresh and energetic collage., with personal favourites including the addictive ‘Enemy’, the endearing ‘Penelope’ and a powerful song about gun control ‘Get Rid of You’.
