\n<\/span><\/i>Lankum have consolidated their reputation as one of Ireland\u2019s most important voices following the release of their fourth Mercury-nominated album <\/span>False Lankum<\/span><\/i>. Released on Rough Trade in 2023, it has garnered critical acclaim across the board and brought their music to legions of devoted new fans. <\/span>False Lankum<\/span><\/i> is conceived as a single piece of music, comprising 12 interconnected songs that unfold across an epic 70-minute duration. Drawing on traditional songs and primitive techniques, the band have created an immersive, psychedelic listening experience, incorporating experimental overtones and rumbling drones wedded with classic songwriting and timeless narratives. Performing a run of sold out shows in support of the new record, the Lankum live show has evolved into a modern day powerhouse, with the band\u2019s acoustic instrumentation (uilleann pipes, fiddle, accordion, guitar, tin whistle and percussion) and close-harmony vocals transforming into a vast, kaleidoscopic wall of sound.<\/span>
