Trommuþrællinn - a song about a drum slave

Trommuþrællinn -  the Drum Slave

Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen finally release their unique Nordic electronic sounds in album size.

'Full of melancholy-frosted electronics and emotive swells of classical piano, the new single from Nordic duo Ólafur Arnalds﻿ and Janus Rasmussen is a delicate, icy slowburn' – NME

After dropping several tracks and performing at select festivals throughout the years, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen dedicated the year 2014 to explore the area in-between Ólafur’s more acoustic, piano-based solo work and Janus’s synth-heavy electro pop, with their collaborative electronic project Kiasmos.

By focusing solely on their self-titled debut album, Ólafur and Janus have been able to combine and further develop their unique sound aesthetics to complete an album driven by their mutual love for electronic music. Made in Ólafur’s newly build studio in Reykjavík, Iceland, a majority of the album was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesisers, drum machines and tape delays. It features a live drummer, string quartet and Ólafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable record. If you listen closely, you can spot them record the thumb piano, finger snapping and even the sound of the metal grinder of a lighter slowly to replace the usual electronic hi-hat sounds, giving the album a far more intimate and unique atmosphere.

“We decided to start almost completely over with this record, so most of the material is written this year with the idea of making a record that can stand as one piece rather than a collection of songs. I am very excited to get a proper record out exploring a different territory than I am used to. I touch a lot on electronic genres in my own music but never have the opportunity to go full out electronic like we do here.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“The Kiasmos project has been around since 2009, but because of all our other projects we never really got the time to sit down and write all the tracks we always wanted to. So when we early this year finally found the time to sit down and make a full length album there was so much we wanted to try out. The result surprised us a bit, it's deeper and more emotional than we imagined it to be, but that's the beauty of being able to make an album.” – Janus Rasmussen

Kiasmos – s/t will be released on Double-Vinyl, CD and Download via Erased Tapes on October 27th, 2014.

Lyrics:
I couldn’t say
if I was awake

I watched my body taking up space

i saw a line
feet to my head
i watched it wave and i watched it bend

and i was moved
so physical
some kind of water you drift and sway

so i came to
soft prism glow
now all i want is that darkness

Porches - Prism

She’s looking prettier today 
In the corner of my mind 
She’s looking different today 
In the corner of my mind 

It’s my island 
It’s my island too 

She writes her name on the page 
And she follows her bloodline 
She drops the pen – she celebrates 
A deal of a lifetime 

It’s my island 
It’s my island too 

The land is auctioned off today 
For a price of a lifetime 
I smile and wave and walk away 
I must be out of my mind 

It’s my island 
It’s my island too

Cut off my life support
I don't need it no more
I can see it clear now
Running away now

No need for remedies
I cured my own disease
You can let go now
I breath on my own now

And I don't want to talk about it
No I won't let you talk about it
You and I
We are fine

So cut off my life support
'Cause I don't need it no more
Breathe on my own now
You can let go now

And I don't want to talk about it
No I won't let you talk about it 
You and I
We are fine

Funeral

Newly signed to the label, Verveine will drop Antony, her latest EP in March 2015. Built on pop and techno influences, she cut her teeth collecting concerts, deepening and intensifying her universe and building ethereal compositions based on loops and thick sound layers.

After more than forty shows in 2014, her budding traits transformed into a different type of live experience, tinged by techno hues, which enabled her to raise her live sets to a new level, somewhere between traditional performance and radical clubbing experimentation.

Always radiating a mysterious aura, Verveine’s music takes her audience for a unsettling stroll through refined atmospheres, using her hypnotic voice to see it through her technoid maze. 

The four tracks off Antony are built upon moving gradually from the enigmatic, quasi-Lynchian "Premier" to the acid maelstrom of "Veine R #1". This is followed by three remixes from Alexander Robotnick, Stas and La Vie C'est Facile that brings Verveine even closer to the electronic universe she is particularly fond of.
