Following on from their Record Store Day ‘Looped EP’ release, which featured remixes by Dauwd and Lubomyr Melnyk, Kiasmos – made up of Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen – return with three new tracks and a remix by Tale Of Us.
Recorded in various locations including Reykjavík and Berlin, the EP opens
with ‘Drawn’, a four-minute percussion fuelled track with gentle piano
motifs. ‘Gaunt’ features the addition of ambient synths and a drum loop,
underpinned by slow-moving chords. Title track ‘Swept’
which the duo offered to fans as a surprise gift in form of a free download card
at previous show dates, showcases a more club-oriented beat structure alongside
Kiasmos’ signature emotive instrumentation.
