people already said most of my favorites (The Knife, Boards of Canada, Ween, Sparks), three of whom are actually siblings. but they haven’t said another sibling duo i love, The Fiery Furnaces

also have to mention our much more prolific Warp records boys Autechre

Shabazz Palaces are low key one of my favorite artists of the 2010’s

so, even though Coil is not strictly speaking a “duo,” i still consider them to be that and they are my favorite duo, i think

the KLF are sort of a duo and sort of not because they’re not the actual ones performing half of the time. but anyway will mention them too regardless

I thought of two more.

Rodrigo y Gabriela

Nailbomb

Nailbomb was a collaboration between Max Cavalera and Alex Newport. They only put out one album but it goes so incredibly hard I don’t know how they could follow it up. Hesitated to include them because Andreas Kisser also played on some of the songs but there are no real hard and fast rules to this topic.

I think folks have covered all the 70s-80s groups I knew of, wow i love this thread, but need to throw in DAF as in their duo period of like 81-86 they pretty much invented euro synth punk/ebm (Oh lol of course they’re in here sorry)

Maybe Silver Apples too, a sort of grandparent to/archetype of these groups, their most loved work was also when the group pared down to a drummer and a guy with a synthesizer made out of busted electronics
