One Leg One Eye (AD 93)
+ Daniel Foggin (Smote/Bong II)
live at The White Hotel
Irish drone-doom-folk act One Leg One Eye, the project of founding Lankum member Ian Lynch and veteran noise monger George Brennan, return to The White Hotel in support of their new album, CRONE, out on AD 93.
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. 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.
Daniel Foggin, most notably known for his work as Smote and as part of Bong II, offers a rare solo endeavour. Foggin takes a departure from his usual favoured medium of blown out non-master volume amplifiers and seeks the warm embrace of sub-heavy analogue synthesis. With all concepts of time and tempo well and truly thrown out of the window, this new work promises durational, immersive worlds through the use of microtonal oscillators, non-linear composition and glacial distortion.
