Legion of Two is a new project from Alan O'Boyle and David Lacey. It pits electronics against live drums and percussion for a dark, dense, and noisy dirge. Huge basslines, slow, pounding rhythms, and feedback dominate. Industrial, dub, and metal influences are shredded through old guitar pedals and cheap reverbs and reassembled into a driving and melodic force.
O'Boyle is best known for his work as Decal, boasting a catalog of EPs and albums on labels like Satamile, Planet Mu, and Rotters Golf Club covering electro, techno, and experimental music. He has also been involved in recording, production, and remix duties with Redneck Manifesto, Two Lone Swordsmen, Jape, Super Extra Bonus Party, and many, many more.
Lacey is a Dublin-based drummer and percussionist who has been behind a drum kit in some capacity since the late '80s. Beginning in 1997, he has been heavily active in improvised music, collaborating with many local and international musicians. He is one of the driving forces behind the I+E Festival in Dublin.
