Crown Larks - Population
Crown Larks have many ingredients with the biggest being their Chicago styled sound. Punchy guitar slicing silence with algorithmic patterns. Songs filled with diverse creativity. Genre bending and mind fraying, from punk psychedelia to revised folk disintegration. The new album Population even throws jazz roots in the ground, blossoming above all low hovering sounds.
Describing Crown Larks could be and endless en devour. Like a long fireworks show, each track detonating with it's own flavor and charm. Ten lengthy tracks, singing and swaying from the yardarms, on a course through time. Population cuts deep grooves in the sound waves, arriving from distant way points with musical exotica. So many instruments used, all beholden to a massive foundation in percussive power. There is a playfulness that gives way to serious tones. I am going to stretch to reach this connection, like Sixteen Horsepower going to the big city and meeting the James White to give them a tour. Crown Larks has such a solid foundation of talent, they make what seems extreme beautiful.
Released in May on Already Dead Tapes and Records. You can purchase Population on both cassette and vinyl. This is the second description for a Crown Larks release on Lost in a Sea of Sound. The first was just over two years ago for the cassette Blood Dancer, also released on Already Dead.
