Band Of The Day #28 - SKY LARKIN "I Was a Teenage Hand Model"

Bands in their own right can be mysterious and murky at times. Bands playing other people’s tracks only add to the intrigue. So, when you have a case of female fronted Leeds, UK trio Sky Larkin offering their own sultry interpretation of a track by femme-macho rock beasts Queens Of The Stone Age, it can only be utterly beguiling. And it pays off; ‘I Was A Teenage Hand Model'  has been slowed to porno-sleaze tempo and becomes an insidious breathy ode to temptation. It’s rather brilliant.
 
The track comes as part of four the up-and-coming band recorded recently for their Swit-Swoo EP which features tracks by Travis Morrison (ex-Dismemberment Plan), Jake Thackray and Patti Smith in addition to Josh Homme and co. Designed to fill the gap between singles and the debut album that the band are preparing to record in Seattle next May, it’s one of those things that a band can do now without suffering the consequences of post-success judgement. Success by the way, seems very likely for Sky Larkin. If you’re intrigued, check out their own songs – they’re just as good. For now though, download and enjoy the fruits of one band gorged by another.
