Kiasmos drop their first new music in seven years, Flown EP
Kiasmos – Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds and Faroese musician Janus Rasmussen – have returned with their first new music since 2017, dropping a three-track EP, Flown.
“We're excited to share this new release, which differs slightly from what we've done before but feels right for us now” Rasmussen explains. “They were written in different locations around the world, contributing to each track’s general vibe. Flown is a relatively new song and is one of the tracks that seemed to want to be born as quickly as possible. Those types of songs tend to be some of our favourites, as we don’t have to overthink them.”
“Flown is our collaboration’s return to a journey of curiosity and discovery” Arnalds adds. “Written in Iceland it was inspired by UK electronic music as well as modern classical - we tried to find a middle ground where those worlds could all meet. The titular track is followed by Told and Dazed, both initially written on our travels around the world and we have added influences of sounds from the local environment, such as the sounds of rainforest and the Balinese Gamelan instrument.”
Alongside the release of the brand new EP, Flown, which follows on from the 2017 EP, Blurred, Kiasmos have announced live dates throughout the summer, in Reykjavik, London, Berlin, Brussels, Bilbao, Budapest, and more.
Flown EP is out now. For more information on their forthcoming live dates, visit kiasmos.is.
