Vinyl LP pressing. Made up of brothers Ian and Daragh Lynch, Cormac MacDiarmada and Radie Peat, Dublin four-piece Lankum have gained worldwide acclaim for their first two albums and captivating, often euphoric live performances. New effort, The Livelong Day successfully blends alternative folk and psychedelia. Lankum honor the sacredness of traditional Irish tunes, but allow them to metamorphose, to grow and breathe like the heavy, ancient breath of the Uilleann pipes which seethe beneath the tracks of their third studio album. "Drone is a big part of traditional music because the Uilleann pipes are indigenous to Ireland, so we're ramping up that history and taking it as far as we can," notes the group. This is the idea found at the core of the universe created in The Livelong Day; expanding and emboldening that which is already playing out in history. Alongside the traditional songs on the record, there are two originals, the haunting "Young People" and the tragic beauty of "Hunting The Wren."

"The Livelong Day" is a powerful and evocative LP by the acclaimed Irish folk group Lankum, released under Rough Trade/Beggars Group/Ind. This album showcases Lankum's unique ability to blend traditional Irish folk music with experimental sounds, creating an immersive listening experience that resonates deeply with both contemporary and classic audiences. The record features haunting harmonies, rich instrumentation, and innovative arrangements that breathe new life into age-old ballads and original compositions alike. Lankum has received widespread critical acclaim for their previous works such as "Between the Earth and Sky," earning nominations for prestigious awards like the Mercury Prize. Their artistry lies in pushing the boundaries of folk while remaining rooted in its emotional core.
