Lankum: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

These guys have been compared to The Pogues. I would say the closest comparison would be The Velvet Underground to trad.

Just savage.

That ad is a disgace, 30s before the song ends

Repping the Kneecap shirt

Hipster nonsense, i'm not going to check, but wonder which public school daddy sent them

Fair play for promoting Kneecap at same time, support for Irish musicians 👊

❤❤❤❤❤❤

💚🤍🧡

Bear Creek is one of the best pieces of modern traditional Irish music I've heard

bit like @kettleboilers

This is phenomenal 💚🤍🧡 feck yous ads bstds 🔥

Bear Creek reminds me of a much wanted past that isn't actually there. Brilliant.

😅 inspiring 🎉

Magical, just magical.

Their gig in Vicar Street January of 2020 was a top 3 gig of a lifetime for me. I'm sure anyone else who saw them then might agree. They were otherworldly.

I'm averse to any type of jingoism - but stellar proud so many Irish acts enhancing the trad tradition in so many brilliant ways. It ia getting even more brilliant - our New Irish are doing beautiful fusions - we are blessed.

just brilliant!

Rac agus Roll

Love the kneecap tshirt lad x

They just need a percussion artist and I think they could do well.

There are so many gorgeous surprises in their songs

Lankum manages to do Irish folk music that sounds both faithful to tradition and yet hauntingly contemporary.

Would ye change to Justin bieber tribute band

Class! Pure, class

Beautiful. Thanks

Superb! Please keep it coming. And let me know if you ever make it to Berlin!

Thank you !

kneecap t-shirt on the fear an bocsa... nice

less of the virtue signaling from the guitars.ireland for the Irish.

I wanna see Lankum play in like a cathedral or huge cave, a huge space with maybe another bass instruement

the Kneecap t-shirt, unreal

Nice to see a Kneecap T-shirt there. The two most exciting bands in Ireland at the moment.

incredible 🙏

What tuning is the fiddle in?

Congrats on the new baby Ms Peat

Reading the comments made me get teary! Thanks Lankum!

Radie is a monster! 3 instruments in 30 minutes

Nailed it!!! WOW!

last npr tiny desk video pre covid

Just found these I'm embarrassed to say ....absolutely hooked now

Épico!!! Lembra muito a trilha sonora de The Witcher 3!

Liquid craic

Jaysis lads isnt this something wha? Lovely stuff altogether.

Their music s so haunting and powerful and does so much with relatively basic means. It is so HEAVY without being electric even! I get goosebumps whenever I listen to them. I get that they work in kind of a specific niche but I believe many music lovers from many different genres would be moved by them if given a chance.

Gostei de escutar esse vídeo na velocidade 1.5

kneecaps are great celebration of 90 rap tribute, not cause for the cause, music and humanity and no indifference that is

Oh and the wolfetones of course but I believe they had their peak in their pension right
