Yawn! Sky Larkin is yet another indiepop/rock band from the UK that is trying so hard to be energetic as all hell that they simply forgot to write catchy songs in the process. Which means that “The Golden Spike” is a very jumpy, shaky affair where nothing sticks. The fact that vocalist Katie Harkin sounds like she’s on some serious medication that suppresses any emotion doesn’t exactly help things along either.
No idea why they are signed to Wichita (home to great bands such as Bloc Party and Los Campesinos) but hey, who knows… they might surprise us in the future! For now you can just download the decent enough single “Fossil. I” and leave it at that.
Score: 5.5 out of 10
