Sky Larkin formed in 2005 with school friends Katie Harkin (vocals, guitar) and Nestor Matthews (drums). After spending their early days earning their stripes appearing alongside b ands including Gossip, Architecture In Helsinki and Wild Beasts, the band caught the attention of Wichita Recordings and subsequently released debut album The Golden Spike in 2009. After the release of their second album Kaleide in August 2010 and touring with the likes of Les Savy Fav, Cloud Nothings, Best Coast, and Frightened Rabbit, the band took a hiatus. Harkin joined fellow northerners Wild Beasts as a live band member, touring throughout 2011 and 2012, while Matthews sat behind the kit to record with Menace Beach and Giant Fang. Sky Larkin, now re-assembled with additional members Nile Marr (AKA Man Made) and Sam Pryor (of These Monsters), spent this past winter writing the new record in Yorkshire, before taking themselves to Seattle to record with Goodmanson.
