Lankum reimagines 'Ghost Town' by The Specials in dark Halloween video
Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
Irish doom-folk band Lankum, recognized for their latest album "False Lankum" (a Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Award nomination), released a cover version of the cult track The Specials "Ghost Town". The music video, shot in the east of Ireland, was influenced by Irish dancer and choreographer Una Doherty, who was looking for a suitable song for the Halloween scene. Initially, Lankum was skeptical, but the experiment led to an unexpectedly exciting result: the band created a dark techno-exposition in the style of the 90s, perfect for the final part of the track. The single "Ghost Town" (12-inch) with the new video will be released on January 30.
