Larkin Poe delved into 'Blood Harmony' in November

The duo of Georgia-bred, Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell – is back with new single, “Bad Spell,” available now at all DSPs and streaming services. An official music video is on YouTube. “Bad Spell” marks the first single from Larkin Poe’s sixth studio album, Blood Harmony, due via their own Tricki-Woo Records on November 11. Pre-orders are available now.

“Ever since I heard ‘I Put a Spell on You’ by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins for the first time I’ve wanted to write a female response to it,” says Rebecca Lovell. “I’d had the title ‘Bad Spell’ in my journal for years, and it was so fun to create a song where the riffs and guitar tones have that singular purpose of nastiness and swagger.”

PRE-ORDER BLOOD HARMONY

In a departure from the self-contained approach of past albums like 2020’s Self Made Man – Larkin Poe co-produced the new album alongside Texas-bred musician Tyler Bryant (also Rebecca’s husband). With Megan handling harmony vocals, lap steel, and resonator guitar and Rebecca on guitar and keys, Larkin Poe also enlisted members of their longtime live band, including drummer Kevin McGowan and bassist Tarka Layman. It was mainly recorded at Rebecca and Tyler’s home studio. 

“When steering by your own stars, you never quite know where you’re going to wind up,” says Larkin Poe. “Our true north is unique to us, and in following our true north without compromise, we have been out freewheeling this world on the ride of our lives. And it still feels like just the beginning. Blood Harmony is a creative step we are proud to have taken together as sisters. We grew these songs in a sweet part of our hearts and we hope they bring beauty.”
