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.

The corridor seemed endless as the bell buzzed in his ear. Leaving school was his favourite time of the day, such attention to detail in concentrated spells left him feeling numb and dry. As he walked through the wooden doors out into the daylight he could hear the sound of screams and chants from the nearby playground. He remembered the innocence of youth, back before exams, house parties and ate nights. He had never imagined himself to be a teacher, yet here he was lecturing the youth of tomorrow with the knowledge of today. Walking home he sighed. 

Scissorwork is set to release his first EP on the recently founded record label The Other Planet. He delivers four cuts of dreamy house and dusty grooves.

A1. Hymns - Water Acid

At present, the sonic sea is awash with over-saturated kicks, pitched down broken hats and busted toms; typically cascading through a spooky pad sequence or some low quality YouTube rip of a Boyz II Men verse. Like any trend in music - people catch on - then every Tom, Dick n’ Harry cracks Ableton 9 on their Dads 2013 Dell laptop and start pumping their stuff into every corner of the sonisphere from their throne constructed from Man Utd bed sheets, fidget spinners and ambiguously used tissues...

Look, we like a miss-shaped and dishevelled house belter as much as the next man but - just like any other genre or sub-genre of music - there are of course “good” and “bad” attempts at production within a respective format. New boy, Helter’s 4 track “Polaris EP” on Beachy Head is an example of the “good” shit - and very good shit it is indeed.

“Die Waiting” opens up the EP with a bang. You’re hit fairly sharpish with a thudding kick, counterbalanced by a squelchy stab sequence - shortly-after kissed by the vocal sample which runs true throughout the track. Colourful pads and bass-heavy toms then bleed into the mix while the track constantly evolves in structure and ferocity. All-in-all, “Die Waiting” is an instant classic and has been exquisitely crafted from start to finish - one to fill almost any scenario with immeasurable hype.
