LANKUM - 'Live In Dublin' - Out Now...
Listen to Newcastle
New single THE NEW YORK TRADER out today!
Lynched in Ballinamore, Leitrim, 17th January 2015
Critically acclaimed Irish quartet Lankum release a new record, Live in Dublin, on June 21st on Rough Trade Records.
Live in Dublin follows their 2023 breakthrough album False Lankum, which paved the way for critical and commercial success, earning them that year’s RTE Choice Music Prize (the Irish equivalent of the Album of the Year Grammy) and the #1 spot on The Guardian's’s Best Albums of the Year list. Drawing on traditional folk songs, Lankum put their own dark, distinctive mark onto each, leaning into heavy drones and sonic distortion that imparts new intensity and beauty into each track. This record sees the band cement their breakout from the folk genre, creating bold, contemporary music that may be fashioned from traditional elements but is firmly new, sitting comfortably alongside Rough Trade labelmates like black midi and Gilla Band. Live in Dublin also features a previously unrelease track, 'The Rocky Road to Dublin’.
