Larkins formed in Los Angeles in the mid-1990s with Patrick Carney on vocals and guitar. They put out albums like 'A Lark in the Clear Air' in 1998 and 'Are We Having Any Fun Yet?' in 2004. Their song 'Are We Having Any Fun Yet?' got some attention as an alternative rock track from that period.
Their sound had some atmospheric touches and unconventional structures that drew from indie rock and electronica. They worked with musicians like Josh Freese on drums and Matt Sharp on guitar. The band kept at it through the 2000s, releasing 'The Flight of the Lark' in 2008.
Some critics found their approach too experimental at times, but they stuck with it. Songs like 'TV Dream' and 'Sugar Sweet' show their mix of rock textures and moodier electronic elements.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
