About this Event
Jack Larkin with Mason Amdor on Thursday, October 1 at The Wayfarer in Costa Mesa, CA!
"Jack Larkin's fourth album is a massive leap forward for the Southern California singer-songwriter—a kaleidoscopic world of sound that digs deep into life's big questions while always remembering to come up for air. Purkinje Shift is at once intimately warm and chock full of sonic surprises at every turn, equally reminiscent of Panda Bear's beatific psych-pop and the rustic, entrancing chamber-pop fantasias of Grizzly Bear's Daniel Rossen.
Much of the album came together during an intimate 2024 session in which he holed up in a cabin near Twin Peaks' Lake Arrowhead, pulling from his love of Rossen's creative tunings as well as the monastic flourishes of Nick Drake, Mort Garson's early-electronic synth fantasias, and the far-out psychedelic pop of Animal Collective and Olivia Tremor Control.
Thematically, Purkinje Shift draws from the eternal cycle of change that one goes through in life, as well as the struggles to persevere through an uncertain world. "This is the most personal thing I've ever made lyrically," Larkin reflects. "This album was a ladder to climb out of that with."
