Sky Larkin

Great British Hopes features the rare new British bands that don’t make me want to go deaf.

The mighty Wichita Recordings have recruited another into their already daunting ranks with the signing of . The Leeds band have been floating around critics’ radars for some time now, but it’s taken until now for them to find a home. This now means that their first full length abum will be arriving sometime in the near future, with it recently being recorded in New York.

Molten, previously a single, is one of the songs on it, and while not their strongest work lyrically, it does give a good sample of the Sky Larkin sound. The guitars are rough, noise drops in and out constantly, and vocals occasionally shout from the background. It’s a hell of a lot of noise for only three people to making really.

Now how about touring again with fellow Wichita band Los Campesinos! to flog both of their albums? Just saying.
