While Lankum, \u003cb\u003eJohn Francis Flynn\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eYe Vagabonds\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eLisa O'Neill\u003c\/b\u003e 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 \u003cb\u003eLandless\u003c\/b\u003e, 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 \u003cb\u003eJohn \"Spud\" Murphy\u003c\/b\u003e (the Lankum producer and \u003cb\u003eØXN\u003c\/b\u003e member), \u003ci\u003eLúireach\u003c\/i\u003e sees the quartet adding sparingly-used instrumentation -- \u003cb\u003eRuth\u003c\/b\u003e's aching pump organ on \"Death \u0026amp; The Lady,\" \u003cb\u003eMéabh\u003c\/b\u003e's shruti box on \"Ej Husari,\" Lankum's \u003cb\u003eCormac MacDiarmada\u003c\/b\u003e on fiddle, viola and banjo throughout, even some mournful trombone from \u003cb\u003eAlex Borwick\u003c\/b\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eLúireach\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eLúireach\u003c\/i\u003e rewards your close attention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eMPN: \u003cspan\u003e  GB157LP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glitterbeat Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44491771215960,"sku":null,"price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/6123\/1448\/files\/Landless.jpg?v=1785649536","url":"https:\/\/moloneysimports.com\/products\/landless-luireach","provider":"Moloney's Irish Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
