GRAMMY Award-winning siblings Larkin Poe have announced the release of a new deluxe edition of their latest album Bloom, which landed earlier this year. The LP will include acoustic versions of the songs which they dub An Acoustic Companion Volume II. The new version will drop October 10th via Larkin Poe’s Tricky Woo imprint. The duo have also unveiled an unplugged rendition of their track ‘Mockingbird’.
Tapping into an American feel with this stripped down version of ‘Mockingbird’, there is a sonic warmth to this remake. The beautiful vocals of the sisters are spotlighted, with the pair once again keeping their reputation of delivering music at the highest quality firmly in tack. Have a listen below.
Regarding the single and deluxe version of Bloom, Larkin Poe stated:
“We wrote and recorded our album Bloom a whirlwind year and a half ago. In the intervening time, we’ve carried the songs of Bloom all across the USA on tour and have gotten to know them in an even deeper and more personal way. Being able to find some stillness in which to reimagine some of our favorite songs from the album has awoken yet another wave of rebirth in our creative souls and we can’t wait for folks to experience the re-blooming of Bloom.
‘Mockingbird’ holds a very special place in our hearts, so when we began planning An Acoustic Companion Vol. II, we knew this vulnerable piece would be the perfect place to start,” they continue. “We recorded it in Rebecca and Tyler’s brand new studio, Crosstie Recordings, and there was something about that fresh, yet familiar space and the stripped back nature of acoustic instruments that let us tap into a really beautiful intimacy — letting the lyrics cut straight to the heart. We didn’t mess with the bones of the song, just took away a little of the shine from the original and leaned deeply into simplicity. The riffs settled into themselves, like they’d grown up a bit, and we found ourselves connecting with the song in a whole new way. Kinda like sitting down with an old friend and realizing the conversation still has a new thing or two to teach you.”
