Totally, that’s why they sound so fresh. They are brilliant musicians and their creativity is unrivaled - where will you be seeing them in the summer?

Couldn’t agree more! I go by the video description, not the thumbnail in this particular one. I feel the same and really look forward to seeing them live. Undoubtedly one of the best albums of 2023! Thanks for your comment, much appreciated

Seen them live in Paris this week. A truly phenomenal, almost religious experience

@zen_arcade Ah, how lucky! That’s a brilliant description, couldn’t agree more

Lankum is one of my fave bands. discovered them through their connection to the Santa Cruz , CA band Blackbird Raum. Ian Lynch has a podcast as well and is interactive with his listeners. He even answers emails and listened to a song I had recorded from a revolutionary war era poem. So, also really nice folks.

@@zfunk56good stuff, thanks much!

They are very much loved and more knowledgeable people see the link between them and older more untutored Irish music. If you have the ear then go listen to the singing style Margaret Barry. You will see the link between her and Radi Peat.

Don’t see much of a link there between the two other than the style and an inherent truthfulness. Radie is a lot more sophisticated in her approach to singing - but the roots to the more unleashed and free Irish music are there, for sure!

Amazing band. Loved you take on the album. Lankum's Radie Peat has an newish album with three other Irish legends in the band Øxn. It's only 6 songs and each one of them amazing. Check out The Wife of Michael Cleary on youtube for a taster. Based on the murder of Bridget Cleary.
