about

The Carrier is Jack Sharp’s first offering as Large Plants. This sad-psych ballad shows a more reflective and personal side to Sharp’s writing. Originally written on breaks from touring with Wolf People, the song felt like it had reached a prescient maturity when recorded in the lockdown summer of 2020. It features slowly weaving fuzz guitars and gently purred nostalgic invocations from Sharp’s distinctive voice.

lyrics

I am only a carrier
Here to bring your disease
Stand aside for the carrier
For I do as I please

You can take apart the machinery
Leave it in the street
And all the shame that you might feel for me
Come here and lay it at my feet

And I will draw a circle
Invite you to stand inside
Offer precious artefacts
For you to take away and hide

I am only a carrier
Here to bring your disease
Stand aside for the carrier
For I do as I please

You can roar down the avenue
And break into my room
A thousand pieces of chandelier
To scatter on my tomb

And I will draw a circle
Invite you to stand inside
Offer precious artefacts
For you to take away and hide

I am only a carrier
Here to bring the disease
Stand aside for the carrier
For I do as I please
And I’ll make everybody see

I am on your side
But I'm just so tired

about

Large Plants Bedford, UK

Large Plants is the post-apocalyptic downer-fuzz-rock side project of Jack Sharp, former singer guitarist from psych-folk luminaries Wolf People. Suddenly without a band and faced with the enforced lockdown of Summer 2020, Jack set up in a friends’ old barn in Bedfordshire and created a tonne of scuzzy, loner, biker-rock.
