Lankum - The New York Trader (Official Visualiser)

[@codycreepcore]

That pause in the middle of the song and then the next big entry kicked my ass in the most pleasing way.

[@lokiatwa]

I had to look at the track playing, thinking that was a quick seven mins

[@VexLosers]

Yeah you can really hear their metal influence there.

[@tummelluv]

agree all the way...my 10 year old daughter loves it when I play this song.

[@danthebeatles]

Hitting crazy new heights every time. Whenever I find myself in that old man type mindset of 'Music is gone to the dogs', Lankum and a few other bands remind me I'm just full of shit and it's still truly alive and kicking.

[@jh7574]

Agreed! Could you share your 'other bands'...?

[@danthebeatles]

@@jh7574 Some of the favourites right now. Lisa O Neill and The Mary Wallopers from Ireland. And outside of Ireland obsessed with Idles and Wet Leg these days.

[@clairedesmond557]

☺️

[@folkpine]

Hey people, check Jim Ghedy too, hes great

[@mysticalgerald]

right on!

[@MadailinBurnhope]

this is shaping up to be my favourite Lankum album, perfectly dark, foreboding, lyrical, the drone! and that reel to end all the atmosphere - perfect! go raibh míle maith agat, Lankum

[@trianglesfalling]

If you haven't heard already. Ian Lynch has a solo album under the name One Leg One Eye on Bandcamp that is excellent as well...

[@gabrieljuarez7135]

That instrumental at the end SLAPS!

[@HladgerdKissinger]

Listening to this for the 72nd time this week

[@robertcope9103]

Genius, GENIUS, GENIUS. The musicianship is off the scale. Radie's playing is like superwoman joining in. Her mastery of her instruments is just uncanny. Her use of these amazing instruments is like the reinforced concrete underpinning the band. Most others have mere sand underneath them. This is music with steel.

[@richo7328]

Ian's voice seems so well suited for this song, so good.

[@slarragy]

This is the reimagination of trad. It's extraordinary.

[@marymadhen]

Good the Lankum, magic 'don't want the track to end. . . oh it's blown me knackers off', ingredient is there

[@Iglooo666]

6:05 gives me chills everytime.

[@ErinScope]

Lethal. Can't wait to hear this stuff live.

[@HannekeErnst-Jan]

Een zoveelste meesterlijk gebracht lied. En wat zijn die teksten gewelddadig!

[@mikefisher2298]

Unexpected and welcomed!! Proper shouters, indeed!!!!

[@laurosf]

Lankum is my favorite music genre

To the New York Trader I did belong She was fit for sea both stout and strong Well manned, well rigged, well fit for sea Bound for New York in Amerikay On the 4th of March we did set sail All on a sweet and a pleasant gale With hearts undaunted we set for sea Bound for New York in Amerikay Our cruel captain as we did find Left half of our provisions behind Our cruel captain, you’ll understand Meant to starve us all before we reached the land As our captain in his cabin lay A voice came to him and this did say "Prepare yourself and ship's company For tomorrow night you must lie with me" Our captain woke in a terrible fright It being the first part of the night Loud for his bosun he did call To him related the secrets all "Bosun" says he, "it does grieve my heart To think I have acted the villain’s part To take what was not my lawful due For to starve the passengers and the ship’s crew” "There’s one thing more I have to tell When I in Waterford town did dwell I killed my master, a merchant there All for the sake of his lady fair I killed my wife and children three All for that cursed jealousy And on my servant I lay the blame And he was hanged in grief and shame" “Oh captain, captain, if that be so Pray let none of the ship’s crew know But keep that secret all in your breast And pray the Lord may grant you rest The very next morning a storm did rise Which to our seamen did much surprise The seas came over both fore and aft Till scarce one man on deck was left And then the bosun he did declare The captain was a murderer This so enraged the whole ship's crew They overboard our captain threw All of a sudden a calm was there Our good little ship onwards did steer The winds abated and calmed the seas And we sailed on for Amerikay And when we reached that New York shore Our good little ship for to repair The people wondered much to see Such a poor distressed and shipwreck crew were we So sailors all where’er you be A warning pray you take by me As you love your life won’t yous take good care And never go sailing with a murderer src: genius.com/Lankum-the-new-york-trader-lyrics

[@ykrgfk]

I'm really looking forward to this album after hearing this. I like all their stuff but this is a bit special. Very well put together - and they can create a thunderous sound.

[@anachi63]

Just Love & Gratitude

[@bigjim2313]

Love it...Lookin forward to the new doubler LP and Irish shows. Thanks!

[@paddydunne774]

Outstanding

[@johnwilliamknox7156]

My grandad lived in New York during the 1930s early 1940s! He had to leave due a shooting of Italian hoodlum. As he was in the merchant seaman ....He got on the SS Ferguson ( 12 hours out of pearl harbour) .....

Deadly.

[@Szykindaead]

Sublime

[@andrewp.schubert2417]

Great song. Please post lyrics.

[@roundiehouse]

The music is as strong as ever, but this video smacks of machine intelligence to me. Organic rules!

[@MadailinBurnhope]

normally I'd agree but that juxtaposition fits the song's themes imo, folk and industrial, Irish and American

[@warrenm3542]

Anyone know if this video is AI generated. It's class. The tune is next level though. Gonna see this live in 2024 and cannae wait

[@florentin5840]

It looks to be a 3D render with a filter overlaid on top, so not AI generated.

What's a false lankum?

[@noahwilliams1082]

Pretty sure its one of the Childs ballads kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJSQgKSCbdWYidE

[@MadailinBurnhope]

as far as I can tell, if something's false lankum it means "much ado about nothing" or too much fuss over a false alarm

[@markefrench]

Epic. Wasn't prepared for the scale and ambition of it. And the musicianship!

[@Handfast]

Amen brother.

[@markefrench]

That would be False Lankum, John

[@patrickbracken3363]

Aye, right.

[@JohnMac2023A.D.]

If Ireland doesn't Repent and Return to Jesus Christ, you will be swallowed up by Islam, and Irish culture will be No more! Oxford professor Coleman as stated by the year 2066 UK will be in the minority in their own land. But heed this Ireland is calculated a lot sooner. Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life ✝️
