Sky Larkin Reveal New Track ‘Loom’, Announce New Album

Here’s the newest taste of the band’s forthcoming album, ‘Motto’.

Sky Larkin have unveiled a brand new track, in the form of ‘Loom’.

Taken from their forthcoming album, ‘Motto’, which they’ve now confirmed is due for release on 16th September, the newest snippet is set to be officially showcased as a single a week earlier, on 9th.

Following on from their previous offering - the title track of the album - you can take a listen to ‘Loom’ below.



Speaking of the track itself, singer Katie Harkin explains: ‘This song is about the presence after loss. I knew that the inspiration for this song meant that it would be the saddest on the record for me, so I consciously attempted a fake-out with myself. I wanted it to be our ‘Enola Gay’, pop on the surface with a darkness that the casual listener might not pick up on. For me that’s one of the funniest things about songs: they can be powerful without being self-evident.’

You can also check out the tracklisting of their new album - which was recorded in Seattle with producer John Goodmanson - below.
