One Leg One Eye
“Lynch is brilliant singing lyrics that sound as old as the Earth, their simple lyrics carrying oceans of sadness. ” – The Guardian
As a founding member of Dublin experimental folk group Lankum, Ian Lynch explores submerged leylines of music and song. Forging a musical path that is all at once dark, mysterious, and foreboding, but ultimately transcendental. His new solo project One Leg One Eye sees him taking a fresh approach to musical arrangement culminating in a sound that is more rooted in the raw aesthetics of second-wave black metal than contemporary folk.
The project was born in 2021, a period in which Lynch was able to enjoy the freedom of experimenting and exploring different paths of sound design without expectation or pressure. Seeking out interesting settings to record music and gather field recordings, there are several environments, external and interior, whose respective essences have seeped into the spirit of the music and come to represent Lynch’s artistic approach and development.
