The latest full-length from Larkin Poe, Blood Harmony is a whole-hearted invitation into a world they know intimately, a Southern landscape so precisely conjured you can feel the sticky humidity of the warm summer air. In bringing their homeland to such rich and dazzling life, Georgia-bred multi-instrumentalist sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell fortify their storytelling with a rock and blues-heavy sound that hits right in the heart, at turns stormy and sorrowful and wildly exhilarating.

Rooted in the potent musicality the Nashville-based duo has brought to such widely lauded work as 2018's Venom & Faith (a Grammy Award nominee), Blood Harmony affirms Larkin Poe as an essential force in shaping the identity of Southern rock-and-roll, breathing new energy into the genre with both forward-thinking perspective and a decidedly feminine strength.

A meditation on the preciousness of family, Blood Harmony's title track celebrates a certain unbridled spirit passed down through generations. "This song came together after Megan, our mom & I all read Ruth Ozeki's A Tale for the Time Being, which is about the ways we perceive the passage of time," says Rebecca. "There was something about the sweetness of all 3 of us reading the same book & then being able to talk about how it related to our love for each other & our love of music."
