Legion of Two: no riff raff

At this stage, Alan O’Boyle is a veteran of the electronic music game

At this stage, Alan O’Boyle is a veteran of the electronic music game. As Decal’s co-founder, O’Boyle has built up an enviable back-catalogue with releases on labels such as Planet Mu, Rotters Golf Club and Leaf.

Long before there was much of an Irish electronic music scene, O’Boyle and Decal were putting down strong markers.

His new project, Legion Of Two, sees him working with David Lacey. The drummer is another Dublin musician with a long CV, including playing a leading role in founding and developing the I-and-E Festival for contemporary improvised music.

O’Boyle and Lacey have worked together before, and the obvious empathy is evident in the Legion of Two debut album, Riffs. Thrilling and dramatic, Riffs is a bout between old-school industrial beats and new-school electronic grooves. The mixing and matching between Lacey’s pulsating live stickwork and O’Boyle’s fierce electronics provides the basis for a remarkable dubbed-out soundtrack. Dive in and join them.
