ALBUM REVIEW: Larkin Poe – Bloom

Tricki-Woo Records

Released: 24.01.25

Larkin Poe’s latest album is a barn-storming celebration of American music and everything it was built on. Showcasing the best of their roots from blues to rock to Americana, Bloom is a feast of potent swampy Southern rock, bluesy melodies and psychedelic riffs.

An album rooted in storytelling, with every track unfolding like a chapter of the band’s story, Rebecca and Megan Lovell’s genre-bending skills are on full display as you move through the gentle melodic lullaby of Easy Love, through the dark, gnarly, anthemic power of If God Is A Woman, to Little Bit where the vocals and slide guitar pull emotions out of you with devastating ease.

Closing track Bloom Again is a delicate and quietly beautiful example of the sisters’ harmonies and the soft interweaving of their voices. A soothing parting shot that ensures listeners are completely seduced by the album’s closing seconds and sure to come back for more.
