Basciville
Basciville are Irish brother duo, Cillian & Lorcan Byrne. Exploring the joys & sorrows of human existence through intense lyricism & dark harmony.
Hailing from Wexford, Ireland: Both studied music and composition at Waterford Institute of Technology before embarking on a career as session musicians for many well known Irish acts.
They formed and recorded their first autonomous music under the guise of Basciville in 2016, in the form of the ‘Blues in Red’ EP. The success of this release led to them signing with a UK label under which they released a string of ‘sound finding’ singles before deciding to split and follow the independent route. After taking the time to accumulate the gear and the skills required to record their own music, they set up a studio in their home in Ireland and started a label and production house- moving heads. Since then they have worked as producers with some of Ireland’s leading acts as well as releasing a second EP – ‘For All Lost Youth’ and a critically acclaimed debut album ‘Hymns to the Air’, all self recorded and produced.
They are currently working on album number two ‘Nothing Surprises’
