LANKUM

THE LIVELONG DAY

New Album Out Now on Rough Trade Records!

 

**FCC CLEAN**

 

"Folk standards get extreme makeovers on the Dublin four-piece's latest, cementing their place at the forefront of the form." – The Guardian (5/5)

"The group's third album of folk revivalism, a combination of new anthems, traditional ballads rearranged and reinterpreted, and stomping instrumental tunes, [is] heavier and more apocalyptic-sounding than ever." – Billboard

 

Rough Trade Records are excited to announce that Dublin four-piece Lankum has released their new album The Livelong Day today.

Dublin four-piece Lankum (brothers Ian and Daragh Lynch, Cormac MacDiarmada and Radie Peat) have gained worldwide acclaim for their first two albums and captivating, often euphoric live performances. Their third album, The Livelong Day, successfully blends alternative folk and psychedelia. It takes both the earthly and alien elements of their sound to create an immersive, otherworldly sonic landscape.

On The Livelong Day, the band honor the sacredness of traditional Irish songs while allowing them to metamorphose – to expand, grow and breathe. Drawing on their interest in varying styles and genres, from Krautrock to drone to ambient to Brian Eno, they balance this disparate array of tastes to create droning music that is dark, rich and raw.
