LankumDublin
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’.

Our new single 'Newcastle' is out today, ahead of the release of the full album FALSE LANKUM on Friday.
Newcastle is the third single taken from our new album False Lankum. We learned this song from Seán Fitzgerald of The Deadlians/Dublin Ballad Tour fame. The tune was first published in ‘The English Dancing Master’ (1651) where it is simply entitled ‘Newcastle’ the words may be related to a broadside ballad printed in 1620 entitled ‘The contented Couckould, Or a pleasant new Songe of a New-Castle man whose wife being gon from him, shewing how he came to London to her, & when he found her carried her backe againe to New-Castle Towne.’
