More Information

Lankum is an Irish quartet comprising Ian Lynch, Daragh Lynch, Radie Peat and Cormac MacDiarmada. The band consolidated their reputation as one of Ireland’s most important voices following the release of their 4th, Mercury-nominated, album False Lankum (Rough Trade, 2023), which garnered critical acclaim across the board and brought their music to legions of devoted new fans.

False Lankum was conceived as a single piece of music, comprising 12 inter-connected songs unfolding across an epic 70-minute duration. Drawing on traditional songs and primitive techniques, the band created an immersive, psychedelic listening experience incorporating experimental overtones and rumbling drones wedded with classic songwriting, close vocal harmonies, and timeless narratives.

Lankum’s live shows have evolved into a modern-day powerhouse, with the band’s acoustic instrumentation (uillean pipes, fiddle, accordion, guitar, tin whistle and percussion) and close-harmony vocals transforming into a vast, kaleidoscopic wall of sound.
