Blood Harmony affirms Larkin Poe as an essential force in shaping the identity of Southern rock‘n’ roll, breathing new energy into the genre with both forward-thinking perspective and adecidedly feminine strength. In a departure from the self-contained approach of past albums like2020’sSelf Made Man–praised byAmerican Songwriteras “pumped up for arena-sizedconsumption without compromising any of its stripped-down command and intensity”–LarkinPoe co-producedthe new albumalongside Texas-bred musician Tyler Bryant (also Rebecca’shusband). With Megan handling harmony vocals, lap steel, and resonator guitar and Rebecca onguitar and keys, Larkin Poe also enlisted members of their longtime live band, including drummerKevin McGowan and bassist Tarka Layman. Mainly recorded at Rebecca and Tyler’s home studio,the result is an electrifying new work that fully harnesses the fiery vitality they’ve shown intouring across the globe, imbuing their songs with equal parts soulful sensitivity and thrillingferocity. Fromthe feverish guitar work of “Bad Spell” to the soul-stirring “Southern Comfort” andsmoldering title track,Blood Harmonyreveals a band in complete touch with their formidableintuition, their storytelling fortified with a blues-heavy sound that hits right in the heart.
