The Lovell Sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell took America by storm playing at the Grand Ole Opry, Telluride and other top venues and festivals. Now still only 21 & 22 years of age they have launched themselves as Larkin Poe with 5 EPs and 1 Live DVD in two years and performances with such stars as Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson, and The Indigo Girls.They are also credited with lending a hand to the albums of Blair Dunlop, Gilmore and Roberts as well as the teenage pop favorites A Rocket to the Moon. Now the girls present a full album, this time collaborating with multiple Norwegian "Spellemann" (Grammy) winner Thom Hell, and their special guest Sola Akingbola from the multi-millon selling band Jamiroquai. The record was recorded in two periods over the two last years, at the studio "Ocean Sound" in Giske, Norway, the same studio Scottish band Travis just finished their upcoming album in. It started as a project to see what could come of a collaboration between Larkin Poe and Thom Hell, a Norwegian artist Larkin Poe had listened to and liked while touring Scandinavia. Luck brought the two bands together as Thom attended the bands concert, and two visits to the studio later 10 songs are presented on the album "The Sound of the Ocean Sound". Sola Akingbola heard a rough mix of the record after playing at the Nobel peace prize concert in Norway and was so eager to play on the record that he spent his 2 days off on his 2 months Jamiroquai tour to lay down some steady percussion work on the record. The record, available on CD and vinyl has 10 tracks, 6 written by Larkin Poe, 3 by Thom Hell, and 1 song co-written by Rebecca Lovell and Thom Hell in the studio. The album also features musicians Daniel Kimbro on bass, Chad Melton on drums and Mike Seal on guitars, all musicians who have played in the Larkin Poe band up until recently. The Norwegian producer Audun Borrmann recorded and produced the album in close collaboration with Larkin Poe and Thom Hell.

Press Quotes
...the Lovells and Hell combine to harmonise in a pitch perfect manner not heard since CSN&Y were in the ascendancy forty years ago.
—Alan Harrison, NO DEPRESSION
If you want to know why Neil Young, Iain Matthews, and a number of others were so influential in the 60s and 70s, then you need to listen to this CD. Larkin Poe (a.k.a. The Lovell Sisters) and Thom Hell dish up an exquisitely flawless disc of novo-roots music in The Sound of the Ocean Sound, as refreshing as a new dawn and as luxurious as a bed of eider down.
—Mark S. Tucker, FOLK & ACOUSTIC MUSIC EXCHANGE
