Released on December 9th through Wichita Recordings. 

The release will be backed by a new track, ‘Parapet’ and available digitally. 

Orders via the band’s website (http://weareskylarkin.com) and also the Wichita Recordings shop (http://shop.wichita-recordings.com) will receive a specially-curated 'Newsworthy' newspaper, created and edited by the band.
 
The release co-incides with new shows for the band: They will be joining The Wedding Present for a show to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the legendary Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, their home city. Sky Larkin also play with Yuck and Dutch Uncles as part of the All Years Leaving Event in Birmingham this month. A full headline tour for 2014 will be announced shortly.
 
'Newsworthy' is the next chapter in the band’s resurgent story: following a short hiatus while singer and guitarist Katie Harkin toured the world as part of Wild Beasts, Sky Larkin returned with 'Motto' in September this year, a record that garnered blanket praise and the most acclaim for any of their albums so far. After a summer of festivals, pre-album support shows and autumn headline dates, the band will soon be announcing UK and European shows for 2014.

lyrics:

(verse 1)
duck pond, cheap birthday cake
it feels like it was yesterday
we were jumping off the back porch
what’s it like in new york?
i’m still living in a desert far away

(verse 2)
backstage, bruising our knees
grass stains, watercolor green
we were living under spotlights
now we’re making up for lost time
watching all the cattails grow

(chorus)
people say we’re on our own now
but i still see you in the summer haze
when autumn comes again i’ll be waiting
you look lovely in this life you’ve made

(verse 3)
sidewalks, secondhand clothes
haunted house, laughing with the ghosts 
spent so many hours burning
while the earth just kept on turning
it was chaos but we called it home

(chorus)

(outro)
while i wonder how we got this far
i’m so proud of everything you are

thumper

written, performed, and recorded by madeline bohman

lyrics:
i’ve never seen stars in anyone’s eyes
never seen war or the poison you cried
through the gaps in your teeth
we could be anything

you haven’t said much, just looked at me
off on some tangent how no one is free
i’m oil in water
watching you dance through the neck of a bottle 

give me something i can use
is the world any kinder on neptune
i could be anything
anything but good

no man is an island, but everyone’s lonely
we’re looking for one thing, we’ve lost one thing only
oh 
we could be anything, anything

give me something i can use
is the world any kinder on neptune
we could be anything 
anything but good
tell me something that is true
nothing is real when i’m with you
i could be anyone
anyone for you

i left a child in the lines of revelation 
beady eyes casting no light through the pages
i’m borrowing time
breaking the promise of never mind

My take on Andrew Huang's new made-up genre Shiny. The whole official information is on my Youtube Channel but I figured I'd share it here as well. Please enjoy!
