The sisters of Atlanta roots-rock duo Larkin Poe (photo by Robby Klein).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cYou really have to understand that what you\u2019re doing has to be for the right reasons,\u201d says younger sister Rebecca. \u201cI think the only reason Megan and I have been able to sustain a touring lifestyle over all these years is not because we\u2019re in it to try to get some quick fame or we\u2019re in it to make a whole lotta money; it\u2019s actually an experience that is fulfilling for our souls.\u201d<\/p>\n
Without the financial backing of a record label, the duo have done their development in front of a live audience. They attribute their breakthrough moment to Tip o\u2019 the Hat, a video series they created almost by accident two years ago. <\/i>What began as a learning tool to dig into some traditional blues and classic rock in their off time turned into a record-making inspiration that has defined \u201cwhat it feels like to be Larkin Poe,\u201d says Rebecca.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt really felt like a big coming home,\u201d says Rebecca of the resulting album, Peach<\/i>, which they were inspired to make over the course of a weekend after fans reacted so positively to their video series. \u201cIt was the first time Megan and I got into the studio with just the two of us\u2014no production, no other musicians\u2014and it was such a liberating experience.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWith a central theme of self discovery, their new album, Venom & Faith<\/i>, continues that experience, with a layering of instruments and voices that is all their own.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe take great responsibility for the way [our music] ultimately comes out for fans, so, of course, that means we sweat every detail,\u201d says Rebecca. \u201cI spend countless hours with headphones on and a laptop, perusing master sound libraries that I can choose from to create the musical landscape that people will hear on the album.\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan says that it\u2019s really special to share something like the material found on Venom & Faith<\/i>.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>\u201cThe music industry is so competitive and crazy-making,\u201d she says, \u201cbut, at the same time, we\u2019re able to be in a field that revolves around creativity, and if you can introduce a bit of creativity into your day-to-day, you\u2019re gonna experience every moment so much deeper and so much brighter.\u201d<\/p>\nLarkin Poe
