Our Take

Ah, the dulcet tones of Sam Larner in his latest album "Now Is the Time for Fishing." This eccentric troubadour takes us on a whimsical journey through the world of angling, weaving tales of fishy encounters and riverbank reflections. Larner's signature blend of folk and sea shanties creates a unique sonic landscape that is both captivating and offbeat. The instrumental arrangements are sprawling and dynamic, evoking the ebb and flow of the tide with each strum of the guitar and crash of the drums. Tracks like "Codfish Blues" and "Sardine Serenade" showcase Larner's witty lyricism and knack for storytelling, painting vivid pictures of the fishing life with a whimsical charm. His voice, gravelly and weathered, carries a sense of authenticity that is hard to come by in today's music scene. However, the album does have its drawbacks. Some may find Larner's niche subject matter off-putting, and the repetitive themes of fishing and maritime adventure can feel a bit one-dimensional at times. Overall, "Now Is the Time for Fishing" is a delightful romp through the world of angling, with Sam Larner at the helm guiding us through his quirky musical universe. Whether you're a seasoned fisherman or just a casual listener in search of something out of the ordinary, this album is sure to hook you in with its catchy tunes and charming storytelling. So grab your tackle box and dive in, because the waters of Sam Larner's music are teeming with surprises.
