Kiasmos is the brainchild of Icelandic modern classical composer Ólafur Arnalds and Bloodgroup mastermind Janus Rasmussen from the Faroe Islands.

Rasmussen, who has more experience with electronic music, usually crafts the beginning of the songs. With Arnalds’ good ear for pure and timeless melodies, he is then responsible for the overall song structure and the fine-tuning.

‘I am really enthusiastic about this project. Finally, I can make music that the people can dance to. Something refreshing for the weekends…’, explains Arnalds in an interview with the German electronic music magazine Beat.
'The project is a good excuse for both boys to ‘get out of the house’ so to speak and do different music to what they normally do.'

Having released their 65/Milo split 12" with label mate Rival Consoles in 2009, this year sees the duo return with the hotly tipped Thrown EP and a string of European club shows.
