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 2007, 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.

can't stop falling in love unless you go away 
86 drops down the gutter fade 
fill my lungs with your scent until they explode 
i will pretend i'm alone 

i lay down and take it til' the pain is dead and gone 
father says you'll shake it i can't help but feel he's wrong 

wake me up when it feels right 
all of the nights you spent alone 
wake me up when there's sunlight 
all of the nights we couldn't sleep 

only a friend 
only a smile 
you're wanted back in my heart now 
wake me up when it feels right 
all of the nights you couldn't sleep 

[Now I lay me down to sleep, 
I pray the Lord my soul to keep. 
If I should I die before I wake, 
I pray the Lord my soul to take] 

(wake me up when it feels right 
wake me up when there's sunlight) 

when you were in heaven i was in heaven 
you are the only thing that i love 
and now i'm forsaken you are forsaken 
everything i love breaks 

only a friend 
only a smile 
you're wanted back in my heart now 
wake me up when it feels right 
all of the nights you couldn't sleep 

i'll stop falling along the wayside 
when you stop coming home to my heart 
just wake me up when you can come home

Owsey, Jernalism & Resotone - I've Been Secretly Falling Apart

Gentle High

Listen on Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1dHC6EW

would you lie if i asked you
close your eyes if you have to
for reasons i can't explain
I'm here still

run and hide when i have to
wanting more, but i want you
terrified i can't go through
the space between us two

don't leave just yet
dance with me love one last time, slowly
drown me again, just like you did
one last time, lovely 
phantom you lay, across my bed one last time
if only, for a moment we could

not too sure that i know you
think you left when i left you
and now were fading away
drifting as we end our stay

don't leave just yet
dance with me love one last time, slowly
drown me again, just like you did
one last time, lovely 
phantom you lay, across my bed one last time
if only, for a moment we could

Jesus Drone - Hiraeth

Cause I bit my lip until it bled
But I kinda wish that I'd bit yours instead
I spilled blood on my ex-boyfriend's shirt
And I hope that I will never make you hurt

The way that I once told you that he did
The way that I can't help remember him
Said I loved you and I've never meant it more
But despite it all I'm always feeling bored

I'd do anything to feel comfortable up here
                        
                                 ♡


Lontalius - Comfortable

the closer to you, the safer i feel

It Starts To Rain As I Fall Asleep

blurry streets
ghosts will scream
hide in sheets
hide things you see

don't wanna hear
bout some guy
you've probably screwed
shut your mouth
hope your happy
hope he treats you well

ghost will scream
they hide in screens
fill eyes with dreams
ill hide in sheets

got plastic teeth
makes it hard to sleep
forced to think
its nothing new
plane will close my ears
wont put phone on airplane mode
music will keep me sane

im alright

Goodbye my lovely dog...

Now on iTunes & Spotify.

To Start Again (ft. Analogue Dear)

dedicated to Xavier

has your rose gone dry?
have you lost every petal?
crown of thorns when you settle
lust for love
now its time you go
though your faith was so brittle
all that trust you belittled
just to run
and hide from what you've done
