Ahead of dropping their sixth studio album, Blood Harmony, sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell have shared their latest single, “Southern Comfort.” A rugged rumination on their roots, the song boasts gruff, confident vocals against a quivering twang. “Southern Comfort” is full of fire, passion, and pride.
“Growing up in Tennessee and Georgia shaped my sister and myself in so many beautiful ways,” Rebecca said of the song in a statement. “Now, as an adult, I feel grateful to reflect on that childhood and to call Nashville home. I loved writing this song, and getting to share southern hospitality, southern comfort, with all the sweet souls we encounter on our travels around the world, feels empowering.”
Blood Harmony, set for release Friday (Nov. 11), is home to previously released songs “Strike Gold,” “Georgia off My Mind,” “Bad Spell,” and the blistering title track.
“Blood Harmony is a creative step we are proud to have taken together as sisters,” the duo said of the project. “We grew these songs in a sweet part of our hearts and we hope they bring beauty.”

The pair will begin touring in support of their upcoming album next year. Zig-zagging across the country through the new year and into April, Larkin Poe will then set off for dates in Australia and New Zealand. See a list of shows, below.
