Psychedelic/Garage Rock
Large Plants made quite a splash with their debut album on Ghost Box last year. Primarily the project of Jack Sharp, it was a noticeable swerve for the synth-heavy label towards classic 70s hard rock, but somehow it all fits together. That sense of destiny continues wholeheartedly with the swiftly delivered follow-up The Thorn, which features a shift in approach towards a more psychedelic, folk-inclined and prog-tickled sound. There's still plenty of heft in the rhythm section, but Sharp sounds much more pastoral in his tone, and the songwriting on this outstanding sophomore album follows suit.
