A Larum is the first full-length album by London-based folk rock band Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit, although it was released under the name of Johnny Flynn alone. It was released on May 26, 2008 in the UK, and July 29, 2008 in the US. The song "Tickle Me Pink" was featured as iTunes free single of the week. The title of the album is the Middle English word for "alarm," used in Shakespeare's stage directions to signify a disturbance occurring offstage, and Flynn "quite liked the idea that the noise happening offstage was this album".,[1] A Larum has been nominated for the Xfm New Music Award (2009) and was also named as the 37th best album of 2008 by Paste Magazine.[2]
