Lankum Announce Fourth Record 'False Lankum' - Share Brooding Single "Go Dig My Grave"
Dublin-based band Lankum present their fourth record, and third for Rough Trade, ‘False Lankum.’ 12 tracks, composed of 10 traditional songs and two originals, show the four-piece using a new palate to colour their sound in an increasingly experimental way, leaning into heavy drones and sonic distortion that imparts new intensity and beauty into each offering.
Today they’ve shared the menacing first single “Go Dig My Grave” with a gorgeous video by Peadar Gill (Hello, A24!)
From the start, the band planned for ‘False Lankum.’ to feel like a complete piece – a progression and a journey for the listener. “We wanted to create more contrast on the record so the light parts would be almost spiritual and the dark parts would be incredibly dark, even horror inducing,” they explain. ‘False Lankum.’ arrives on Standard Black and Limited Edition Clear Orange Double LP Vinyl, as well as CD.
