On the heels of a milestone Glastonbury performance, Two Shell dropped the recording of their IICON set with an accompanying 12 track surprise release.
Released today on DSP’s is IIcons which features a collection of previously unreleased tracks. The project offers a deep dive into glitchy, dark, and emotive club music – much of it familiar to fans who’ve caught Two Shell live over the past year.
In a message to fans on Instagram, the duo indicate the closing of a chapter in a heartfelt post about the Glastonbury set – an emotional moment that announced new music while also acknowledging the sadness around how their anonymity has often been misread.
The IICON headline slot, described by CRACK Magazine as a “punchy, hyperactive” 90 minutes, distilled the duo’s entire music timeline – from early beginnings to the present – into one set. It served as a powerful summation of their journey to date.
The duo’s impact was immortalised by Four Tet, who closed his Arcadia set at Glastonbury with ‘finding my spirit,’ a track featured on IIcons.
Read Two Shell’s statement below:
‘the end of a chapter.
anonymity sometimes feels like a mistake. when people message us saying “we know it wasn’t you up there! classic!!” it feels sad. the intention was never to troll. it was to question what we are, and whether it matters.
the world is a hard place. there are so many horrible things going on, and from our perspectives, our recent music is an expression towards that. a lot of it has been difficult to play. though through making the darker music we are lucky to have realised that it is not what we are only here to make.
there are few places that are as important to us as glastonbury. it is an epicentre of connection, and really an honour that it is in the UK. Over the years many people have asked us when will we play IICON, and what feels like from unexpected circumstances and with the passion of some incredible people, we were invited to play this year… in a perfect slot and thankfully, just before the fallow.
it was us, and we put our hearts and minds into it. over the next couple of weeks we hope to show it.’
