Two Lone Swordsmen were a British electronic music duo from London, consisting of Andrew Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood.

History

Formed by Andrew Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood in 1996, following the dissolution of Weatherall's the Sabres of Paradise, Two Lone Swordsmen released material on the record 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. Two Lone Swordsmen's debut studio album, The Fifth Mission (Return to Flightpath Estate), was released in 1996. 1998's Stay Down was placed at number 22 on Pitchfork's "50 Best IDM Albums of All Time" list. Tiny Reminders (2000) was placed at number 19 on Pitchfork's "Top 20 Albums of 2000" list. The duo released From the Double Gone Chapel in 2004. On 17 February 2020, Weatherall died due to a pulmonary embolism at the age of 56. Weatherall's death marked the end of Two Lone Swordsmen, as Tenniswood decided to fold the group.
