History


In 2009, the duo started with the 65/Milo, a split 12"' release, together with record-label colleague Rival Consoles. In 2014, they released their debut LP, Kiasmos, on Erased Tapes Records Ltd.[1]

Kiasmos released their fourth EP, Blurred, in 2017, which PopMatters described as "one of the most emotionally engaging electronic releases of the year . . . It is an intricate yet unforced and natural sounding set of songs with every song allowed room to bloom gradually."[2]


Members


Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen worked together when Ólafur was a sound engineer for Rasmussen's Bloodgroup project.[3]

Ólafur is a multi-instrumentalist and producer from Mosfellsbær, Iceland.[4] His work is characterized by strings and piano, with loops and edgy beats as a fusion of ambient/electronic and pop.[5][6]

Rasmussen, from the Faroe Islands, is a member of Bloodgroup. Rasmussen also worked along with other artists such as Guðrið Hansdóttir in the band Byrta.
