About

Made up of BAFTA-winning Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds and Bloodgroup’s Janus Rasmussen from the Faroe Islands, Kiasmos’ experimental take on minimal techno has been at turns surprising and entirely mesmerising since its inception. The unlikely merging of disparate worlds - Arnalds’ acoustic and classical influence and Rasmussen’s electronic approach - is brilliantly fulfilled on their tightly-woven, self-titled debut album.

Since their 2015 Swept EP, the duo have been performing shows extensively across the world. After writing and recording together in their native Iceland this year, the pair will be bringing a glimpse of light to a particularly gloomy time of year as their light sounds are brighter than ever. “To write new material felt like a new beginning for us after two years of touring. The plan was to write something a tad darker than our previous stuff. Spring in Reykjavík had other plans though, as this turned out to be our brightest release to date.” says Janus Rasmussen. “Stimming was one of the reasons we started making four-on-the-floor music and we have been listening to Bonobo since we were young, so it was a great honour that they wanted to contribute remixes for the EP.” The EP closes with remixes from British producer Bonobo and German electronic musician Stimming, taking tracks Blurred and Paused into different coloured realms. The cover art featuring the iconic Kiasmos symbol is by long-time Erased Tapes collaborator Torsten Posselt at FELD. — (via Label)
