Sisters Larkin Poe debut with Kin, an indie rock record with touches of country and folk harmonies. Megan and Rebecca Lovell are the kin of the album title and have taken the chance to use their band name as tribute to a distant great (x4) grandfather, himself a distant relative Edgar Allen Poe. The sisters turn their hand to numerous instruments throughout these twelve tracks, most notably the lap-steel that Megan handles with fantastic dexterity...

Larkin Poe, the Atlanta-based sister act of Megan and Rebecca Lovell, introduced themselves slowly, shyly, with a suite of four semi-conceptual EPs of gentle bluegrassy folk -- Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter -- and a somewhat more rambunctious fifth EP, Thick as Thieves. The 12-track Kin is their first full-length statement -- and, for better and for worse, it's not what might have been expected. Kin is a determined step away from the duo's winsome strumming and cooing harmonies...

Kin The tone is set from the moment Jailbreak's bluesy guitar kicks in - with the pace unrelenting until the plaintive finale of Overachiever. The beauty of Larkin Poe's development has been the lack of pigeon-holing - with the sisters always looking to explore and experiment in different musical styles. For example, Don't has elements of T-Rex, Suzi Quattro and Pink, while Crown Of Fire tips a wink to Kate Bush in vocal performance - while keeping one foot in their bluegrass roots...

Sister duo Rebecca and Megan Lovell, aka Larkin Poe, team up with Norwegian singer-songwriter Thom Hall for full length folk effort The Sound of the Ocean Sound. This is not a predictable career move for the former and despite their reputation for dreamy romanticism and soothing melody, the charm is lost as the two sounds are forcibly welded together...

Two years after Rebecca and Megan Lovell formed Larkin Poe on the back of the disbandment of The Lovell Sisters, the pair are back with another impressive set of songs that move them even further from their bluegrass roots. This is a seven track CD, which comes with a 16 track DVD, including two promotional videos and a concert recorded in Norway in October 2011. Essentially an EP then, these new songs from Larkin Poe continue a prolific 24 months, where 5 EPs have been issued...

So we get the two companion EPs to complete the year. We have had Spring and Summer and finally Fall and Winter and it is no stretch to say that I have been eagerly awaiting these two EPs for a few months. They do not disappoint. The two Lovells, Rebecca & Megan make a delicious country/ Americana sound, exquisite harmonies and well crafted songs with a real freshness and delicacy that sets them apart for most of their contemporaries...

It may seems a little odd, while we are trapped in the depths of 'winter freeze', to release an EP titled 'Summer' but this follow up to the wonderful 'Spring' is part of a suit of releases for all seasons ? no doubt 'Winter' will be released in August to remind us what the joys of cold are while we are sweltering in 100 degree horrors...
