Now this girl is a dream to shoot – a real hair shaker, pose striker, someone who entirely loses themselves in the moment. Think of Screaming Jay Hawkins crossed with PJ Harvey and you’re somewhere close. Or a reverse White Stripes perhaps – they certainly exhibit all the energy, promise and attitude of Jack and Meg White’s early years and yet debut ‘Nests’ is far more developed than the Stripes’ first record.
What’s more, I can’t recall a gig that I enjoyed so much as a picture-taking experience. Some bands just pop out when you start snapping. Larrabee is a woman who clearly enjoys the spotlight and embraces the dramatic/diva side of herself in a very appealing way, coming across as neither selfish nor self-absorbed but simply a born performer.
