The video follows the first moments of a blossoming romance between two friends as the girls make an abandoned house their home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regarding \u2018Sugar Sweet\u2019 frontman Josh Noble says,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c\u2018Sugar Sweet\u2019 was always about a moment. The moment where nothing kinda turns to something. I wrote the main melody really early on as band and had the lyric in a notepad for years. Playing the track live we hadn\u2019t appreciated how hard we wanted it to drop and we released that audiences were dropping with us. We had to do the track justice not only in production but how we presented the artwork, video and the story, so it only felt right to revisit it. The early version was cool but definitely felt unfinished. Now I feel like this is a really serious statement for us both sonically and visually.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Sugar Sweet\u2019 follows the release of Larkins\u2019 debut single <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BfD3T3762UI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018TV Dream\u2019<\/a> on Good Soldier Records earlier this year. The song received an immense response from both fans and media, quickly clocking up over a million streams. \u2018TV Dream\u2019 proved a radio hit and featured on the playlists of Radio 1, BBC Introducing and Radio X, while the band have also received significant support from Zane Lowe on Beats 1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The release led the band to sell out a landmark hometown show to 2000 rapturous fans at Manchester\u2019s Albert Hall. Capturing the moment perfectly, Larkins release the live album <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7whjeZktmcI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Larkins: Live At The Albert Hall, Manchester<\/a>. It is available to stream now and can be purchased physically from July 5<sup>th<\/sup> on CD, cassette and vinyl.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As an undeniable proven live force Larkins have sold out headline shows across the UK and Europe, and played their first US shows this year at SXSW Festival.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a thank you to their dedicated fans in Manchester, Larkins have announced a tiny headline show at the city\u2019s intimate Deaf Institute on June 11<sup>th<\/sup>. Following this the band will play their largest London headline show to date at Dingwalls on June 19<sup>th<\/sup>. This autumn the band will embark on an extensive 16-date UK headline tour, running throughout October and November.

The band are currently recording their debut album with producers Dan Nigro (A-Trak, Sky Ferreira, Lewis Capaldi) and Andrew Dawson (Kanye West, Fun, Kid Cudi) \u2013 a record which is sure to send Larkins even further into the stratosphere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>LARKINS TOUR DATES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>JUNE<\/strong><br \/>\n11<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 Manchester, Deaf Institute<br \/>\n19<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 London, Dingwalls<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>OCTOBER<\/strong><br \/>\n13<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 Liverpool, Zanzibar<br \/>\n14<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 Stoke, Sugarmill<br \/>\n16<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 Derby, The Venue<br \/>\n17<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 Tunbridge Wells, The Forum<br \/>\n18<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 Bournemouth, The Anvil<br \/>\n21<sup>st<\/sup> \u2013 Southampton, Joiners<br \/>\n22<sup>nd<\/sup> \u2013 Bristol, Rough Trade<br \/>\n23<sup>rd<\/sup> \u2013 Exeter, Cavern<br \/>\n24<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 Brighton, The Pipeline<br \/>\n29<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 Leeds, Wardrobe<br \/>\n31<sup>st<\/sup> \u2013 Glasgow, King Tuts<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>NOVEMBER<\/strong><br \/>\n1<sup>st<\/sup> \u2013 Edinburgh, Sneaky Pete\u2019s<br \/>\n3<sup>rd<\/sup> \u2013 Newcastle, Think Tank?<br \/>\n4<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 Nottingham, Bodega<br \/>\n6<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 Birmingham, The Sunflower Lounge<br \/>\n8<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 Leicester, Duffy\u2019s Bar<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block;
