LAKKER
Biography
LAKKER are Ian McDonnell and Dara Smith who make everything
from abstract glitchiness to rampaging gabba using only a couple
of laptops, the occasional microphone and their considerable
musical smarts. They have been mainstays on the Irish electronic
music scene since their inception in 2003. Described in the
Journal of Music in Ireland (JMI) as "one of the best
electronic acts in Ireland", their output has ranged from
electro-acoustic soundscape pieces to mashed-up death-metal-sampling
breakcore: a diversity reflected in their releases to date
on labels such as Risc Records, Go Away Recordings and the
online EP 'Cosas' with The Alphabet Set. Live, they have played
alongside a plethora of acts like Andrew Weatherall, Tim Exile,
The Bug, Aaron Spectre, Pamelia Kirstin, Chevron and Cylob,
and have made a number of appearances at the DEAF, Mor, Leechrum
and Mantua festivals. Their long awaited debut album 'Ruido'
is being released on Lazybird on 5th October.
"Lakker bring a dark melodic angular rhymical monster...
harrowing church bells, worshipping at the heels of rave; chambers
that resonate with classical music during the day are overrun,
twisted and turned over to the darkside by night.."-Alphabetset.net
