The Thorn is the second album by Large Plants, out on 17th November on LP, CD & Digital (pre-orders in the Ghost Box Shop open 12th October).

This time round there's a folkier, proggier more fantastical feel than the heavier biker-rock of the 2022 debut, The Carrier.

The Thorn was partly recorded at the same time as the The Carrier, with more songs added subsequently. However, all tracks for both albums were recorded and performed entirely by Jack Sharp in a barn, since demolished. “It was a dirty, rusty, metal shack with no insulation or sound treatment, and it was full of junk, but it sounded weirdly great, and I loved it.” Sharp told Shindig magazine.
