Playfully sarcastic with an inviting sound reminiscent of early Squeeze (with nods to ska bands like The English Beat and The Specials) The Larch specialize in strong melodies, dexterous guitar, clever songwriting, soaring harmonies and tight yet inspired playing. Song subject matter includes; the joys of consuming raw fish (Sushi Habit - or is this one of them clever metaphors?) the use and abuse of flowers (Poppy Day) and songs such as Bat Boy Signs Up and Paperbored Packaging Association are sardonic and entertaining social commentary.
