EMBRZ - Back Where We Belong

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.

“‘You Changed Your Hair’ is about all of the immediate feelings you have after exiting a long relationship. It’s the amalgamation of sadness, nostalgia, anger, and inward anxieties all coming out at once. At the end of the process though, you gain independence & eventually organize your thoughts to move on.” - @synovamusic

✧ Lyrics 
Today I 
Didn’t Leave the house
Sat here thinking by myself
About all the ways that lead us to the end
I remember the last touch
Pushing Past me in slow motion but it felt like a rush

Have yourself another drink to save yourself from the hurt
Lock your mind away think it could break the curse
Have another drink to save yourself from the hurt
It only got you so far

I thought the earth was shaking at its core tonight
Felt your body but it didn’t feel quite right
Left a note that this would be the final time
That I’d let you define me
When the walls caved in
We were buried to our chin

Have yourself another drink to save yourself from the hurt
Lock your mind away think it could break the curse
Have another drink to save yourself from the hurt
It only got you so far

In a world that we let die
I’ll take your side
No use in falling down 

In a world that we let die
I’ll take your side
No use in falling 

But I won’t be the one
I won’t let you down this time
I won’t let it run its course
But is it so wrong
If we’re doomed for disaster? 
If we’re doomed for disaster?

“There are songs that will make you dance, there are songs that will make you cry, and there are songs that you might listen to when you're angry. Sometimes you feel like no one can understand the feeling that you're facing, but I know when I find the right music, it feels like I've reached that place.” - Synova

✧ Lyrics 
Sitting alone when you’re right here beside me
Chin up so high but you’ve lost all of the gleam 
I’m watching this fade from the lights of a studio 
Reckless brigade screams from out your window
And how do you sleep in a place that's so loud
When everyone else is asleep on the ground?  
And you’re watching this fade from the comfort of your home
You’ll stop, you’ll replay, so you won’t be alone

Doing the same fun things
Over & Over
Till they’re just new
Nostalgic memories 
Of what used to be

And we dance, reminiscence, then we cry
And lose it
And we dance, reminiscence, then we cry
And lose it
Then we’ll fight, we’ll eclipse
Post-Apocalyse 
And we dance, reminiscence, then we cry
And lose it

Can we live for the future and die for the now? (x7)
Live for the future in post-apocalypse 
In your post-apocalypse 
Kiss your post-apoca-lips

I’ll wait for madeline
You’re here but out of line
Cause you won’t be the one
You just let me down
