Ghost Town is out now… lankum.ffm.to/ghosttown

…along with a very special video from @leonnward shot in the Wicklow mountains.

To celebrate this release we have a very limited edition 12” vinyl, designed by @oscartorrans with an etching on the b-side. Available for preorder along with a teeshirt from Rough Trade webstore.

Ghost Town came to us through some curious circumstances. @dohertyoona, who we were familiar with through her phenomenal dance work on the video for Gilla Band’s ‘Shoulderblades’, contacted us and told us about a new show she was putting together. It was about her great-great-grandfather being sent to Belfast as a child to live with his aunts and work in an abattoir. She wanted a new piece of music for the show, for a party scene set on Halloween night, and told us she wanted it to start out indistinguishable and woozy, before developing into the very recognisable track by The Specials. At first we were slightly reticent, since a cover of a ska tune wasn’t something we’d usually ever consider, but after a bit of deliberation we decided we’d give it a shot, and the result took us on an incredibly enjoyable journey putting this together with @guerrillasounds in Hellfire Studios.

We’re very excited with the end product and delighted that Oona approached us and challenged us to step out of our comfort zone. It’s an honour to be releasing a version of this iconic tune, and it feels eerily relevant to be referencing yet again themes of urban decay, economic hardship and working class frustration.

Enjoy responsibly.
