Search - Larkin Grimm :: Harpoon

Larkin Grimm (now based in Providence) was born in a Memphis commune and grew up in the foothills of the Appalachians with a family of singers and fiddlers. Harpoon Baptism, her debut, reflects these rustic influences through a modern, psychedelic filter. Larkin?s intense, ecstatic voice, with swirling multi-tracked patterns, recalls the richness of Illuminations-period Buffy Sainte-Marie and the sparkle of Linda Perhacs. Her instrumentation includes duclimer, pennywhistle, bells, drums and guitar. Previously a member of the Dirty Projectors (Western Vinyl), Larkin astounded audiences with her mesmerizing voice. She has also played shows with folks such as Entrance, The Microphones, Old Time Relijun and her brother Joe Grimm?s project the Wind Up Bird. Larkin Grimm is a very special artist, and Harpoon Baptism is a truly magical recording.
