   About Lark
. ... LARK'S DEBUT ALBUM 'SHOP' RELEASED ON CD AND LIMITED HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL AVAILABLE NOW ONLINE AND AT MOST MAJOR OUTLETS........ “truly fab blend of woogly electronica, shuffly backbeats, parping casio and noir-ish jazz-toned alt. folk.” - Time Out . ... “fantastic….. 'tardis' sounds like a drunken, dense and dark take on a stooges riff mixed with the repetition of The Fall”. Rough Trade Stores . ... “very strong album” Andrew Weatherall . ... Shop is a selection of songs documenting Lark’s progression since their inception, when artist Karl Bielik wrote and recorded 14 songs on a 4-track back in 2006 to the expanded cohesive and unpretentious sextet - Diane Bielik (keyboards), Karl Bielik (vocals), Annie Davey (percussion/ guitar), Ross McTaggart (drums), Jim Morris (bass/ guitar) and Ewan Robertson (guitar/ bass) - that rehearse and record at Terrace Studios that they co-run in East London. With influences ranging from Tom Waits, The Fall, The Dirty Three and The Cramps, they have released a number of un-promoted yet very well received limited 7” releases: Stuart Maconie exclaimed Lark as ‘wonderful’ on his BBC6Music show, Freakzone; and Rob Da Bank has invited them to play at Bestival for the past two years; with Rough Trade Records giving their single, The Animal’s Claw - a wonky punk cross-over that was re-edited by DJ extrodanaire, Erol Alkan - Record of the week status and also charted as one of Alkan’s top 10 tracks of the year. Utilising a traditional rock format assisted by an array of analogue keyboards and various other lo-fi devices, their choice of live performances have been effective in building support for the band. Legendary producer Brendan Lynch (Primal Scream,Paul Weller,Ray Davies) heard them play in a local pub, and shortly after remixed their instrumental odyssey Tardis. as did Pop’s intellectual Green Gartside of Scritti Politti who chose LARK as the support act at one of his rare performances. Gartside has also been hard at it reworking an album track for future release. . . . 'TARDIS' FILM BY OLIVER CROWTHER MUSIC BY LARK . . . .. .
