LISTENING TO - Go Dig My Grave by Lankum

The Morris Dancer of old in me, never really dies. A profound affection and feeling for folk music lives on in my weakening withers and arthritic joints. Whenever I encounter anything that is truly remarkable I am floored and completely blown away by it. And so it has been for me with Lankum. 

Simultaneously keeping close to folk tradition, but pushing it musically deep into much darker and doom ridden contemporary territory. There is a bleak quality to Go Dig My Grave that is mesmeric and magnificent. Like a demon that grips your soul and won't let it go. I am in awe.
