Lankum present a devastatingly powerful, otherworldly interpretation of The Specials’ iconic Ghost Town, originally conceived for Oona Doherty’s Specky Clark dance production at Sadler’s Wells. Venturing beyond their folk roots, the band blend eerie ambience and woozy atmospherics before driving into gritty, 90s‑flavoured techno textures crafted at Hellfire Studios—honoring the original while exploring themes of urban decay, economic hardship, and working‑class frustration. This stand‑alone single is pressed on 12" vinyl with an elaborate etched B‑side. Tracklist: A1. Ghost Town; B-side: Etching.
