Two Lone Swordsmen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Two Lone Swordsmen are British house DJ and producer Andrew Weatherall and studio engineer Keith Tenniswood. Formed in early 1996, following the dissolution of Weatherall's influential Sabres of Paradise techno act, the Swordsmen have explored a variety of styles, from electro to post punk to IDM. Originally they released material on the label Emissions Audio Output, run by Weatherall. However, the small nature of the operation limited the duo's success and they subsequently signed to Warp Records, making them labelmates with acts such as Squarepusher, Autechre and Boards of Canada. Their latest album is 2004's From the Double Gone Chapel, which exhibits more of a rock sound than their previous work. It was released with the single "Sex Beat", a cover of the popular Gun Club song.
Their latest album, Wrong Meeting, is to be released on 23 April 2007, via mail order or digital download from Rotters Golf Club. The album is an extension to the sound explored on 'From the Double Gone Chapel'.
