Sky Larkin - Antibodies from Sky Larkin on Vimeo.
It took me a little while to come around to Sky Larkin’s debut album The Golden Spike. Perhaps it was being a little too familiar with a bunch of the songs, or that the production was rather more polished than on anything they had done previously. Time has worked in it’s favour though, and it now feels like a record that will probably be amongst my favourites of the year.
With that in mind, this is the video for the second single for the album. It’s pretty straightforward, with the band playing first on dry land and then in the middle of a mud pit. And that’s about it. Still, not every video needs to be high concept, and in an odd kind of way it does seem to suit the song reasonably well.
In one of the stranger lineup choices I’ve seen for a while, the band will soon be back in the UK as a support act for The Rakes of all people. I like both bands, but something about that combination just seems strange to me. Oh, and while we’re at it, here is previous single Fossil, I, which I thought I had posted in the past, but it seems I never got beyond the video.
Antibodies will presumably be released as a single soon via Wichita, but there doesn’t seem to be a date. In a rare miracle of a decent band playing in Kent, Sky Larkin will be playing at The Farmhouse in Canterbury on May 8.
