Brighton’s rising alt-rock outfit Larlin share their debut single, Favours, a unique blend of melancholic songwriting and dynamic alt-rock energy.
Larlin – Favours
Formed in 2024, Larlin is a fresh addition to the alternative rock scene. The band is the brainchild of Sheffield-born Maryann Hoar, alongside producers Lewis Foord (Wet Leg, Lyra, Conor Maynard) and Cameron Nesbitt (Lovejoy, James Marriott, Luna Blue). Their combined expertise has helped shape a sound that’s distinctive and exciting. The band describes their music as “for overthinkers with volume knobs,” a fitting description for a sound that balances introspective lyrics with raw energy.
This talented team is making their official debut with Favours, a track that came to life in a simple yet meaningful way, starting with just a small electric keyboard. The song tackles the dark feelings of being a burden, letting negative thoughts take over. However, it transforms into something more uplifting and empowering, reminding listeners that those voices are not real, and at the end of the day, the support of your friends is what truly matters.
Setting the mood with atmospheric, melancholy-infused guitar passages, Maryann’s voice is soothing yet impactful when the song calls for it. As the track unfolds, the calmness shifts to bold, striking guitar chords, each one carrying equal emotional weight and immersing you in the powerful, distressing narrative of the song.
“Favours is a beautifully poignant alt-rock anthem, perfectly balancing delicate moments with exceptional production.”
Larlin’s journey is just beginning, and with more songs on the horizon, as well as upcoming live performances and festival appearances, 2025 is set to be a defining year for this exciting new band. If you haven’t already, be sure to keep an eye on Larlin, they’re one to watch!
