SKY LARKIN Kaleide (2010 UK 12-track CD album - Written in the crypt beneath a Victorian church somewhere in deepest Yorkshire and recorded in Seattle, 'Kaleide' is an exhilarating album bursting with ideas and energy and glowing song-craft. At the heart of Sky Larkin's sound lie Katie Harkin's melodic, dancing guitar lines and her crystal clear vocals, which reveal the vivid imagery and inventive wordplay of her lyrics. Drummer Nestor Matthews and bassist Doug Adams are no less important, bringing the kind of power to the songs that could launch rockets. There are big pop moments - in the title track, first single 'Still Windmills' and the chanting 'Year Dot' and there are beautiful, reflective moments in the shape of 'Tiny Heist' and the mysterious mantra of album highlight 'Angelica Houston')
