What was initially described in 2020 as a solo “post apocalyptic folk-rock” side project with Large Plants has now flowered into something more significant, The Thorn, Sharp’s second release in the space of just 19 months, following on from debut, The Carrier (April 2022), which emerged as a result of a writing frenzy during lockdown. Although the latest release is folkier and proggier in tone than the biker rock of The Carrier, some of the songs on The Thorn were recorded at the same time – in a friend’s dirty metal barn in Bedfordshire – https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/11/large-plants-the-thorn-album-review/
Large Plants debut album ‘The Carrier’ is often described as biker rock, but I feel thats an inaccurate label. Personally I love the 70’s nod of nostalgia to bands like Mountain and Wishbone Ash.
