LP version. Folk music emerging from Dublin seems to be everywhere at the moment -- demonstrated most clearly by
Lankum
gaining a host of "Album of the Year" nods at the end of 2023 -- but it would be a mistake to call this a movement, much less any kind of revival. While Lankum,
John Francis Flynn
,
Ye Vagabonds
,
Lisa O'Neill
et al might be new to a lot of audiences, these artists have been exploring and expanding what folk music can be for years, decades even. And this is just as true of
Landless
, the quartet who've been singing together since 2013, finding each other through the traditional singing scene in the city and, crucially, the Sacred Harp singing community. Working once again with
John "Spud" Murphy
(the Lankum producer and
ØXN
member),
Lúireach
sees the quartet adding sparingly-used instrumentation --
Ruth
's aching pump organ on "Death & The Lady,"
Méabh
's shruti box on "Ej Husari," Lankum's
Cormac MacDiarmada
on fiddle, viola and banjo throughout, even some mournful trombone from
Alex Borwick
on "The Newry Highwayman." The songs for the album were gathered over a number of years, Ruth explains, and while the melody and lyrics are paramount, there is a common theme for many of the inclusions.
Lúireach
is an album of quiet power, soaked in tradition but finding new and exciting ways to present these remarkable songs, songs that are full of melancholy, love, death and mystery.
Lúireach
rewards your close attention.
