Our Take

LANKUM's latest offering, "False Lankum," is a mesmerizing journey through the dark and twisted landscape of traditional folk music. This four-piece band from Dublin has crafted an album that blends haunting melodies with unconventional instrumentation to create a sound that is both eerie and enchanting.

From the brooding opening track "The Dark Eyed Gypsy" to the ethereal "Young People," LANKUM takes listeners on a sonic rollercoaster that is equal parts chilling and captivating. The band's unique blend of vocals, fiddle, and drone create an atmosphere that is as hypnotic as it is unsettling.

But it's not just the music that sets LANKUM apart - it's also their lyrical content. Songs like "Willow Tree" and "Katie Cruel" are filled with tales of love, loss, and the supernatural, painting a vivid picture of a world that is as beautiful as it is terrifying.

Overall, "False Lankum" is a masterful display of musical storytelling that is sure to enchant and enthrall listeners. With their haunting melodies and evocative lyrics, LANKUM has proven once again why they are one of the most exciting bands in the folk music scene today. Don't sleep on this album - it's a must-listen for any fan of dark, brooding folk music.
