As Lakker, Berlin-based Dublin natives Dara Smith and Ian McDonnell started operating in the early 2000s with the release of largely tense, bass-heavy, experimental productions. They debuted in 2007 with Rudio, an album that ranged from solitary piano vignettes to bracing percussion barrages. A few years passed prior to an assortment of more distinctive 2011-2014 EPs for labels such as Killekill, Blueprint, Stroboscopic Artefacts, and, most notably, Belgium's revered R&S. On the 2014 EPs Containing a Thousand and Mountain Divide, Smith and McDonnell evoked unease while deploying some of their richest obscured melodies. Tundra, the duo's second proper album, was released on R&S in 2015. ~ Andy Kellman
