BIG EARS FESTIVAL

Lankum

“One of the most important Irish bands of their generation.” – Jim Carroll, chairman of the RTÉ Choice Music Prize

Though rooted in Irish traditional music and folk instrumentation, Dublin group Lankum infuse their music with an experimental, almost punk energy using drone music, psychedelia, and thrilling four-part harmonies. After making several albums in the 2000s and early 2010s under the name Lynched, the band signed with Rough Trade and released 2017’s Between the Earth & Sky, their first record as Lankum. A strong critical reception helped 2019’s The Livelong Day achieve wider breakout success and win that year’s RTÉ Choice Prize. Returning in 2023, their next outing, False Lankum, continued to mix traditional fare and original songwriting with a palpable intensity usually reserved for louder bands.
