After a remarkable two-year run that saw them earn a #1 album and GRAMMY® Award nomination while touring the world from Nashville to New Zealand and back again, Larkin Poe have returned with what is undeniably their most wide-reaching, artistically adventurous, and self-determined work to date. Once again taking the producer reins and releasing on their own Tricki-Woo Records label, SELF MADE MAN – which follows 2018’s chart-topping, GRAMMY® Award-nominated fourth studio album, VENOM & FAITH – sees the multi-instrumentalist sister duo, comprised of the Atlanta-bred, Nashville-based Rebecca and Megan Lovell, pushing their music and message towards hitherto unexplored terrain, inspired by their epic world travels yet still powerfully rooted in the creative heritage of their beloved American South. From the thunderous power of the album-opening “She’s A Self Made Man,” through the nostalgic “Tears of Blue to Gold” and fierce Chicago blues of “Scorpion,” to the front porch jubilation of “Easy Street,” the album is ambitious in both its eclectic, energetic sound and its resolutely welcoming mission, its universal lyrical approach fueled by tradition, invention, and Larkin Poe’s remarkable ability to touch the hearts and souls of their fellow humans worldwide. “Connection is everything,” says Rebecca, “music is the thing that allows us all to express our creativity and our humanity.” “This is, in a lot of ways, is the first lyrically uplifting record we’ve made,” Megan says. “People can go through terrible things. People can weather immeasurable sorrow and hard times, and yet we can still come out on the other side, pull ourselves together, and thrive. This record reflects some of the joy and positivity that we ourselves feel and appreciate.” The international success of VENOM & FAITH marked a milestone on what had already been a remarkable journey for Larkin Poe up to that point. Self-produced by Rebecca and Megan and released on their own label, the album arrived in 2018 and debuted #1 on Billboard’s “Top Blues Album” chart amidst global acclaim and ultimately, a GRAMMY® Award nomination as “Best Contemporary Blues Album.” An incredible 18-month live run followed VENOM & FAITH, a nearly non-stop schedule that saw the band perform innumerable headline shows and festival sets around the world – including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Mountain Jam – as well as full scale tours alongside the likes of Keith Urban and legendary Detroit rocker Bob Seger, the latter proving particularly educational and inspiring for the duo. “Opening up for Bob Seger was truly an eye-opening experience,” Rebecca says. “It was exhilarating to perform in arenas for the first time and to feel the need to be bigger personalities on a bigger stage; the realization that there’s always more artistic space to fill. Ten years ago, we started cutting our teeth in tiny clubs and to be granted the opportunity to run with abandon on Bob Seger’s stage, in front of his audience, is such a gift.” “We are playing shows in a way that we never have before,” says Megan. “It’s been a first-time experience to have entire tours selling out and people rolling up to our shows singing along and really knowing our music. So going into this record, that newfound sense of community definitely shifted our perspective with storytelling; we were asking ourselves different questions.” The Lovell sisters returned home from the road in the fall of 2019 and began focusing in on what would come next. Invigorated and inspired by their recent experiences, they adopted a different slant towards their songwriting, thinking about their music from more of a communal perspective than ever before. “The writing process for this album was liberating,” Rebecca says. “When I first started writing songs as a sixteen-year-old, I was consumed with my singular perspective; I needed to write from an intensely personal place. When we started working on ‘Self Made Man’, I wanted to take a step back and think about storytelling from a broader perspective, and that really opened up a whole new vista. Listening to this album, now that it’s finished, I can hear the growth and I am very proud of it. There are so many moments in these songs that I can’t wait to sing with our fans.” The Lovells were deep in the middle of their writing process when they received news that VENOM & FAITH had earned a prestigious GRAMMY® Award nod for “Best Contemporary Blues Album,” Larkin Poe’s first nomination thus far. “It was an interesting energy to have suddenly enter the mix,” Rebecca says. “You know, you’re in the middle of creative self-discovery, sorting through scraps of paper for what’s going to become the next record, and all of a sudden there’s this unexpected shot of adrenaline in the vein. The Grammy nomination was definitely a boost in unlocking the energy of SELF MADE MAN.” Like its predecessor, SELF MADE MAN is self-produced by Larkin Poe with “our good buddy and engineer” Roger Alan Nichols at his studio, Bell Tone Recording, in Nashville. Working in an industry with too few female producers, the Lovells chose to implement their independent spirit throughout their whole operation, further showcasing their grit, moxie, and determination. “Taking the creative reins and producing the last three records ourselves has been a formative experience for us, as sisters and as artists; it has been essential in the development of our own artistic voice,” says Rebecca. “It has brought us even closer together as a team and has done wonders in crystallizing and distilling the vision that my sister and I share.” “Being authentic is very important to us,” Megan says. “Rebecca and I are heavily involved with every decision that is made. We’re independent artists and it filters into everything that we do.” With its playfully pointed gender twist, “She’s A Self Made Man” both gives the LP its title and serves as the Lovell sisters’ anthem to their hard fought freedom, kicking off the proceedings with a big riffed assertion of their current intent and amplified artistic power. “Life is all about balance,” says Rebecca. “Sometimes it’s sweet, sometimes it’s sour. With ‘She’s A Self Made Man’, I wanted to write a song about the up-and-down ride that Megan and I have been on for the past ten years of building Larkin Poe. It’s hard to know who you are and it can take time to figure out what your purpose is, but I feel thankful that in recent years, my own feelings have started to click and make sense. Knowing and accepting yourself: that is empowerment.” Self-proclaimed “rock ‘n’ rollers at heart,” SELF MADE MAN sees Larkin Poe reshaping American music by tying together its many roots and branches into something fresh and altogether their own, an all-consuming approach that perhaps begins with the blues but includes a vast array of similarly inspired styles of Southern music, from folk to gospel to bluegrass to country and, of course, to just plain good old rock ‘n’ roll. Within that framework, the sisters have created music that can speak to other peoples’ stories as well as their own. SELF MADE MAN manifests a key aspect of the southern tradition with songs that present a sense of celebration and renewal amid the common struggles of existence, songs like the gothic gospel “Holy Ghost Fire,” which offer a way to move through trying circumstances. “When you’re going through a tough time, music has the raw power to galvanize your heart and help you rise above your sorrows,” Rebecca says, “Sometimes, you’ve just got to sing.” This ethos seamlessly comes together as well in the badass boogie of “Back Down South,” a fiery homage to the myriad music made below the Mason-Dixon line. “As Southerners, we love the incredibly colorful dialect of our region,” Megan says. “I think that ‘Back Down South’ showcases a few pieces of our heritage that we cherish.” “Roots American music is resurging,” says Rebecca. “And we’re excited to be a part of a new generation of bands making music that feeds off the old traditions. The South is a hotbed and one of the major cradles for American music; I love the fact that just a handful of states have given us so many bands and artists that shaped American music, from Little Richard to the Allman Brothers to James Brown. It’s an important torch to carry because this music, especially the blues, was hard won by some incredible artists for whom we all owe a great debt of gratitude. We wanted to write a song that helped remind people; we’ll take every opportunity to tell that story.” Larkin Poe wrote most of the songs on SELF MADE MAN, but the album does contain a few co-writes, including “God Moves On The Water.” A traditional folk blues classic famously first recorded by Blind Willie Johnson, Rebecca and Megan take the familiar and add musical, lyrical and arrangement ideas that lift the song to new heights and bring it from 1929 into the turbulent 21st century. “There’s a fun little research project for people,” Megan says. “Listen to that and then go back and listen to Blind Willie’s version. His story centers around the sinking of the great Titanic, but in our version, we wrote additional verses to try and expand the scope of that feeling, to include other events like that which took place in the course of history.” The empowered evolutionary path that led to SELF MADE MAN see Larkin Poe breaking new ground as creative artists, businesswomen, and human beings. While they surely value the need to uphold tradition, the Lovell sisters are resolute in their desire to push the music and culture forward, always mindful of why what they do matters so very much. “We are continually humbled by how far-reaching music is,” Megan says. “Music helps us ask the eternal questions: why are we here? Where do we go next? The music that we love speaks to some of those questions and that’s the kind of music we’re trying to make; music that resonates regardless of what language we speak, the kind of music that touches the soul. “We make music, but music has made us who we are. We wouldn’t have it any other way.”
LARKIN POE UNVEIL VIDEO FOR “MISSISSIPPI”
ACCLAIMED SISTER DUO EARN FIRST-EVER GRAMMY® AWARD NOMINATION
FOR THEIR CHART-TOPPING VENOM & FAITH ALBUM
EPIC WORLD TOUR SET FOR 2020
“Larkin Poe cover themselves in the Delta mud, clawing through the mosquito-infested woods with sounds that get under your skin and stay there… The Lovell sisters have opened the door to a dark, bluesy, portentous worldview, something sinister and threatening even in its lightest moments. It’s like little else out there, so hang on tight and join them.”
– AMERICAN SONGWRITER
GRAMMY® Award-nominated sister duo Larkin Poe have announced today’s premiere of the new official video for “Mississippi,” a song from their self-produced chart-topping and now Grammy-nominated album Venom&Faith, out now via Tricki-Woo Records. “Mississippi” is streaming now via YouTube. Billboard premiered the video earlier today with an exclusive Q&A.
“When you boil it down, ‘Mississippi’ is a love letter to the musical heritage of the southern United States,” says guitarist/lead singer Rebecca Lovell. “As sisters born in Tennessee and raised in Georgia, American Roots and Blues music is the currency of our soul and, Megan and I want our songs to express that connection. We shot the music video in Nashville at our local Jumbo 24 Hour Coin Laundry with two incredible videographers, Andy Snyder and Sean O’Halloran. Andy and Sean both shoot year-round with Keith Urban – we made friends with them in 2018 when we were touring as part of KU’s ‘Graffiti U’ tour – so we feel lucky that they were free make a video with us in one of their rare moments at home. Getting to enjoy the smell of clean laundry while also shooting a music video was definitely a first.”
Larkin Poe will spend much of 2020 on the road, with wide-ranging tour dates around the globe spanning headline shows, festival appearances, and much more. The Georgia-bred, Nashville-based duo’s eagerly anticipated U.S. tour begins March 14 at North Little Rock, AR’s University of Arkansas – Pulaski Technical College and then travels through early April. An epic world tour will follow, including stops in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.

LARKIN POE PAY HOMAGE TO THEIR ROOTS WITH “BACK DOWN SOUTH”
GRAMMY® AWARD-NOMINATED SISTER DUO RELEASE NEW SINGLE FROM THEIR UPCOMING ALBUM SELF MADE MAN OUT JUNE 12 VIA TRICKI-WOO RECORDS
“HOME SWEET HOME LIVE STREAM” SERIES CONTINUES THROUGH JUNE 6
GRAMMY® Award-nominated sister duo Larkin Poe have announced today’s premiere of “Back Down South’,” the latest track from their forthcoming album, SELF MADE MAN. The track features Rebecca’s husband Tyler Bryant of Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown. Garden & Gun magazine premiered “Back Down South” calling it “Larkin Poe’s love song to the south.” The track is available now at all DSPs and streaming services. “Roots American music is the language of our souls. We take pride in being part of a new generation of music-makers who are building upon the foundations that were laid by countless musical pioneers across the American south.”
BUY/LISTEN TO “BACK DOWN SOUTH”
In anticipation of the album release, Larkin Poe will be taking over the Garden and Gun instagram on June 4th. Keep an eye out for more details @larkinpoe and @gardenandgun. SELF MADE MAN arrives Friday, June 12 via the band’s own Tricki-Woo Records; pre-orders are available now, with all pre-orders joined by instant grat downloads of “Back Down South” and the album’s previously released singles, “Keep Diggin’” “Holy Ghost Fire” and “She’s A Self Made Man.”
PRE-ORDER SELF MADE MAN
SELF MADE MAN sees the multi-instrumentalist sister duo, comprised of the Atlanta-bred, Nashville-based Rebecca and Megan Lovell, pushing their music and message towards hitherto unexplored terrain, inspired by their epic world travels yet still powerfully rooted in the creative heritage of their beloved American South. Songs like the gothic gospel “Holy Ghost Fire” manifest a key aspect of the southern tradition, presenting a sense of celebration and renewal amid the common struggles of existence, offering a way to move through trying circumstances. SELF MADE MAN – which follows 2018’s chart-topping, GRAMMY® Award-nominated fourth studio album, VENOM & FAITH – was self-produced by Larkin Poe, like its predecessor, with “our good buddy and engineer” Roger Alan Nichols at his Nashville studio, Bell Tone Recording. From the thunderous power of the album-opening “She’s A Self Made Man,” through the nostalgic “Tears of Blue to Gold” and fierce Chicago blues of “Scorpion,” to the front porch jubilation of “Easy Street,” the album is ambitious in both its eclectic, energetic sound and its resolutely welcoming mission, its universal lyrical approach fueled by tradition, invention, and Larkin Poe’s remarkable ability to touch the hearts and souls of their fellow humans worldwide. “This is, in a lot of ways, is the first lyrically uplifting record we’ve made,” Megan Lowell says. “People can go through terrible things. People can weather immeasurable sorrow and hard times, and yet we can still come out on the other side, pull ourselves together, and thrive. This record reflects some of the joy and positivity that we ourselves feel and appreciate.” “She’s A Self Made Man“ first arrived last month and is available now at all DSPs and streaming services. With its playfully pointed gender twist, the track both gives the LP its title and serves as an anthem for Larkin Poe, kicking off the proceedings with a big riffed assertion of their current intent and amplified artistic power. An official companion video, directed by Robbie Klein (Florida Georgia Line, Justin Timberlake, Maren Morris), is streaming now via YouTube. The premiere of “She’s A Self Made Man” was met by immediate critical acclaim, with American Songwriter writing, “Murky blues ooze off chunky riffs, delivering something ominous on ‘She’s a Self Made Man.’ It goes deep. It’s melodious and mucky. It’s a punch to the gut.” CLASH named the “biting, fantastically emphatic new single” as its “Track of the Day,” noting, “Its crunching guitar palette is augmented by flashes of sterling Americana, hearkening to their Nashville base.” “She’s A Self Made Man” “kicks all kinds of ass,” raved Classic Rock. “If delta blues had a baby with punk, and raised it on beefy rock ‘n’ roll, it might have turned out like this. Tune in, get involved…”
LISTEN TO “SHE’S A SELF MADE MAN”
WATCH “SHE’S A SELF MADE MAN”
“Holy Ghost Fire” followed and like its predecessor, was greeted with worldwide applause from the likes of Classic Rock, which named it among their “Tracks of the Week,” writing, “This one’s got a subtle gospel-y hoodoo to it – with its early blues flavours and harmonised chorus cries of ‘testify’ and ‘smoke risin’ higher’ – but make no mistake, it rocks hard. The sound of people who’ve clearly listened to their share of Son House and Zeppelin, Aerosmith and the like.” A special lockdown performance video, directed, shot, and edited by Rebecca and Megan with assistance from Tyler Bryant, is streaming now via YouTube.

WATCH “HOLY GHOST FIRE”
“Keep Diggin’” was the next track to be released. The song dives into the old fashioned idea of the rumor mill, and while the desire to gossip might almost come second nature to many, Larkin Poe’s ”Keep Diggin’” reminds listeners to think twice about the information they’re receiving. “Some songs feel like they want to be written; they almost seem to spin together of their own accord like a tornado and move with their own momentum — “Keep Diggin’” was one of those songs,” explain Rebecca and Megan. “The taste for gossip comes standard issue for most folks and especially for those of us born and raised in the south – as our aunt Stella May used to say: “if you don’t have anything nice to say, come sit next to me”. ‘Keep Diggin’ is a playful warning to those with loose lips: don’t always believe everything you hear.”

Larkin Poe are set to release Kindred Spirits, their first-ever covers album. Out November 20, Kindred Spirits is a collection of stripped-back versions of both classic and new songs, and it follows the release of their fifth studio album, Self Made Man, released this past June on their own Tricki-Woo Records. Self Made Man has already amassed chart-topping success and critical acclaim. American Songwriter calls Larkin Poe “self made badasses” and No Depression said that Larkin Poe are “kicking butt with a mixture of rocking blues to make powerful, defiant statements” while the Atlanta Journal Constitution says “Larkin Poe simply dominates” and Garden & Gun raves “southern music traditions loom large in the story of Larkin Poe.” In its first week of sales the album rose to the top of Billboard’s “Top New Artists Albums” and “Current Rock Albums” charts, while also climbing to #1 “Blues Albums” and #2 on the “Americana/Folk Albums.”
Today, Larkin Poe share the first song from Kindred Spirits — The Moody Blues’ “Nights in White Satin.” Larkin Poe has been known to post covers on their YouTube channel where they recently performed the song, and the series has gained an expansive following. In a recent tweet, Justin Hayward from The Moody Blues praised their performance “Love it, love them, love them playing it. Thank you Rebecca and Megan.”
Larkin Poe describe the song as deeply haunting, and a song that transcends genre. “We remember hearing Doc Watson, a true American treasure, sing it late in his career — his beautiful voice soaring through a dark theater, the plaintive lyric unforgettable. It’s hard to believe that Justin Hayward was only 19-years-old when he wrote it.”
Accompanying the song is a beautifully captivating music video that showcases archived and historically significant clips. “When we were brainstorming about creating a visual companion for ‘Nights In White Satin,’ we had a romantic idea that stitching together old footage would evoke a nostalgic feeling that matches the vibe of the song.”

About Kindred Spirits Larkin Poe says:
“Music is a bridge that can connect generations across time. In recording Kindred Spirits, our admiration for the artists who originally wrote and performed the songs blossomed into an even deeper reverence. Coming up in a family of music lovers, a lot of the songs we have always seemed to gravitate towards learning have been with us since childhood; we started a YouTube series dedicated to paying tribute to our musical heroes in 2015 that unexpectedly took off and when fans began requesting recorded versions of the songs, we started daydreaming about how an interpretive album might take shape. Bringing these old friends into the studio, stripping them back to the bones and recording them live and raw, felt like a ritual. We’re grateful for the experience of making this album and grateful to the Kindred Spirits who have come before us and written the soundtrack of our lives.”
Larkin Poe recently announced several live performance screenings via their all new POECAST. The band will be sharing an acoustic band show (with stories from the road) on October 4. The performance will air twice, first at 2pm ET and then again at 8PM ET. If fans are unable to watch the show “live”, they will be available to watch after each airing. During the stream, the full band will be in the chat room interacting with fans plus special guests are expected to make appearances in the chat room as well. Larkin Poe aired their first full rock band performance via their Poecast on September 20. Show tickets, VIP passes, limited edition shirts and posters are available now.

Today, Larkin Poe share their take on the Phil Collins classic “In The Air Tonight.” The mysterious companion video for the song heralds the arrival of KINDRED SPIRITS, Larkin Poe’s first-ever covers album and second full-length of 2020, arriving November 20 via their own Tricki-Woo Records. The album was self-produced by Larkin Poe from their home studio. PARADE Magazine premiered the new video, and praised their take on the classic song calling it “intense and unique.”
“We feel like every human on earth has probably sung or hummed or air drummed ‘In The Air Tonight’ at least once in their lives,” says Larkin Poe. “There’s a strange, hallow’s eve energy lurking beneath the lyric of this song that has captured countless imaginations, ours included. We wanted to delve deeper into this more sinister vibe by stripping the song back further with only lap steel, vocals, stomps, and claps.”

“When we decided to release this cover today, we were excited because it meant a spooky, moody music video would be a perfect fit,” Larkin Poe adds, “we love the darker undertones of the recording and — with the help of some vibey found footage — created the perfect Halloween flavored video.” The new song and video are delivered in the most timely fashion for these relatives of Edgar Allan Poe.
In the spirit of Halloween, Megan and Rebecca are going to share a Facebook video at 1pm CT this Saturday, October 31 in which they’ll perform the theme songs of their costumes — Megan will be a character from Star Trek and Rebecca will be WWE’s The Undertaker.
Larkin Poe announced KINDRED SPIRITS last month with their cover of The Moody Blues’ “Nights in White Satin,” which was followed by their version of Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away” that Rolling Stone Country called “a greasy blues jam.”
LISTEN TO “NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN”
LISTEN TO “FLY AWAY”
In any normal year, the band would have released an acclaimed new album and then hit the road for a very long time. But of course, 2020 has been no ordinary year. The GRAMMY® Award-nominated sister duo of Rebecca and Megan Lovell kicked things off in June with their fifth studio album, SELF MADE MAN, topping an array of Billboard charts while earning unanimous acclaim around the world. Instead of a summer of tour buses and packed theaters, the Atlanta-bred, Nashville-based Lovells found themselves at home, performing many livestream concerts and adding to their much-loved YouTube covers series. That got them thinking, and led to the idea for the creation of KINDRED SPIRITS, a collection of stripped-back versions of covers, both classic and new, including songs by the Allman Brothers Band, Robert Johnson, Elton John, Post Malone, Ozzy Osbourne, and more.
In keeping with the surreality of this very strange year, in a recent interview with The New York Times, Bruce Springsteen spoke of a few artists that have been exciting him recently: “J.S. Ondara, Mondo Cozmo, H.E.R., Orville Peck, Larkin Poe and Bon Iver, to name a few. Having the time to listen is, at least, one upside of being stuck in place. “I’ve been really enjoying sort of being deeply back into music,” Springsteen said, “almost like I was when I was a kid. I was always in the record store, looking for the next thing.”
So while 2020 was supposed to be a year of hitting the road and taking their new songs to fans around the globe, instead it’s become a year of reflection, of looking inward, of looking back. But Larkin Poe being Larkin Poe, looking in and looking back for them is also looking forward as they continue to put their own signature on the traditions they embrace. Not ones to sit around and wait for something to happen, Rebecca and Megan are constantly churning and creating. No one knows what this next year holds, but rest assured Larkin Poe will find ways to keep it fun and interesting for everyone, as we are all kindred spirits.
“We’re grateful for the experience of making this album and grateful to the kindred spirits who have come before us and written the soundtrack of our lives.”

“Irresistible.”
- Rolling Stone Country
“The Lovells are singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist sisters creating their own brand of Roots rock ‘n’ roll:
gritty, soulful and flavored by their Southern heritage.”
- Parade
"This is a wonderful romp, the sisters are clearly having fun, and interpreting top-notch material to fit the Larkin Poe style is a productive way to kill time during a pandemic."
- American Songwriter
“Their adventurous modern attitude toward their tunes
makes all the difference.”
- The Boot
"Throughout Kindred Spirits, Larkin Poe shows an emotional depth and artistic flexibility that transforms each song into a new creation, sometimes even improving on the original. "
- Glide Magazine
"Kindred Spirits is the perfect title for the album: The spirit of these songs lives in Larkin Poe, and they carry that spark across generations for a new group of listeners."
- No Depression
"You just can’t fake this kind of talent...Their ability to transform most of these songs in the way they did, is one more testament to their extraordinary musical ability and grit. They take chances, which in itself is fresh. They wouldn’t have gotten this far if they hadn’t."
- Rock and Blues Muse
Tomorrow, Larkin Poe will release KINDRED SPIRITS, their first-ever covers album - a collection of stripped-back versions of both classic and new songs. KINDRED SPIRITS is Larkin Poe’s second full-length of 2020 released on their own Tricki-Woo Records. The album was self-produced by Larkin Poe from their home studio in Nashville.

Larkin Poe suprised fans by releasing their mesmerizing video for “Take What You Want” (Post Malone), ahead of the full album release tomorrow.
“Considering the nature of this record, it should come as no surprise that we applaud Post Malone for shouting out the legendary Ozzy Osbourne with a feature on his hit “Take What You Want.” This song vibrates with a classic Ozzy energy and from the moment we first heard it, we were dying to make our own stripped back, rootsy remix.”

Instead of a summer of tour buses and packed theaters, the Atlanta-bred, Nashville-based Lovells found themselves at home, performing many livestream concerts and adding to their much-loved YouTube covers series. That got them thinking, and led to the idea for the creation of KINDRED SPIRITS, a collection of stripped-back versions of covers, both classic and new, including songs by the Allman Brothers Band, Robert Johnson, Elton John, Post Malone, Ozzy Osbourne, and more.
While 2020 was supposed to be a year of hitting the road and taking their new songs to fans around the globe, it transformed into a year of reflection, of looking inward, of looking back. But Larkin Poe being Larkin Poe, looking in and looking back for them is also looking forward as they continue to put their own signature on the traditions they embrace. Not ones to sit around and wait for something to happen, Rebecca and Megan are constantly churning and creating. No one knows what this next year holds, but rest assured Larkin Poe will find ways to keep it fun and interesting for everyone, as we are all kindred spirits.
