Exciting times for LANKUM, the Dublin quartet formerly trading as Lynched, their second album ‘Between The Earth and Sky’ is winning critical acclaim and cementing them at the forefront of modern traditional music in Ireland.

The success of album one prompted the former home of The Smiths, Rough Trade Records to snap them up and Between The Earth and Sky’ more than justified their decision to do so. Check out new single The Granite Gaze below.

On their first album the original song “Cold Old Fire’’ is rapidly becoming an anthem for these times, listen to the Dublin audience sing every word with the band in concert. On the new album another original song “Granite Gaze” serves a similar function of reminding us that the band are not merely traditionalists but classic song chroniclers of these modern times”. Geoff Travis, Rough Trade
