One Leg One Eye is the project of Ian Lynch (founding member of Irish group Lankum) and George Brennan, exploring submerged leylines of music and song, drawing on the raw aesthetics of black metal, noise and drone, while also being deeply imbued with a sense of history and myth.
Witness the duo drag traditional Irish music through the most severe of voidic territories, flensing it to its blackest marrow. Over the course of their AD93 Recs releases, layers of distorted pipe drones and jagged metal textures are pressed with intensely processed field recordings, folk elements brought to their heaviest fundamental frequencies. When performed live the duo deconstructs traditional song structures entirely, focusing on sustained pitch manipulation and massive walls of resonance that alter the physical perception of the room and leave the mind feeling entirely untethered.
Support TBA.
One Leg One Eye
CRONE is the second album from Lynch and Brennan, following on from 2022’s slowburn slab of ambient grit, …And Take The Black Worm With Me, with vocal contributions from legendary actor, performer, writer and director Olwen Fouéré (Operating Theatre).
Bewildering, psychedelic and ultimately transcendental, the four tracks of One Leg One Eye’s CRONE shapeshift and morph endlessly in a coarse miasma. Traditional song structures and vocal melody are eschewed, instead the trio directly channel energies from the rich seams of mythological significance submerged below the Irish psyche. The anger, rage and beauty of the sovereignty goddess burn a consistent and deliberate line through the album in the form of obscure incantations and dire pronouncements, the gnarled sinews that bind it all together.
Just as the subject matter of the tracks delve deeper into Irish myth and the remote past, the temporal reality of the album reaches back into the bands prehistory, with the majority of it the material being recorded by Lynch and Brennan in 2021 before One Leg One Eye was conceived of as an entity with Brennan working on the CRONE project while Lynch worked on …And Take The Black Worm With Me.
