Larkin Poe have announced the release of their forthcoming An Acoustic Companion EP, a 4-song record of top fan cuts. Landing October 5th on Larkin Poe’s Tricky Woo label, the EP will be available digitally as well as limited edition 7″ vinyl. An Acoustic Companion follows Larkin Poe’s 2022 album Blood Harmony.

To coincide with the news, Larkin Poe have also unveiled an acoustic version of their track ‘Bad Spell’. Whilst obviously stripped back from the original version, it still serves as a great piece of southern rock, with the vocal performance jumping through the speakers. You can stream ‘Bad Spell (Acoustic)’ below.

Touching on ‘Bad Spell (Acoustic), Rebecca Lovell of Larkin Poe stated:

“In our world, almost all of our songs start out ‘acoustic with quiet beginnings at the kitchen table on an acoustic guitar. In recording ‘An Acoustic Companion’ we really enjoyed stripping a handful of our songs back down to their roots and we hope folks will enjoy getting an earful of these songs as they originally came into being.

Megan Lovell added:

“From the jump, ‘Bad Spell’ was intended to be a big, bad, swaggy rock song but we’ve found that there’s nothing more creatively freeing than challenging and burning down one’s own preconceived notions. We did just that in re-envisioning the arrangement for ‘Bad Spell’ and letting it bloom into new life.”
