Kiasmos Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds and Faroese musician Janus Rasmussen- return with their first new music since 2017, dropping a three-track EP entitled ‘Flown’ via Erased Tapes. Alongside the EP, they share a video for the EP's title track directed by Greg Barnes and announce live dates throughout the summer – details below. When Kiasmos started out in the late 2000s, little did they know that their part-time supergroup would go stratospheric. It was the sound of two old friends from neighbouring islands – Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds and Faroese musician Janus Rasmussen – striking out against the stark piano and electropop music that they were individually celebrated for and effusively sharing their love of Berlin-inspired beats. But their pairing blew up into a world-dominating live act whose music went on to define the decade. So what does one of the most dynamic duos in electronic music do next, after all this time? There are clues in their new artwork: Kiasmos’s distinctive diamond motif, up in flames, so it can rise again from the ashes. So what does one of the most dynamic duos in electronic music do next, if ‘next’ is a decade later? Today they set the stage with ‘Flown’ – three songs that introduce an almost otherworldly feel, sailing, flying and spinning into new territory that lands softly, somewhere in the clouds, between electronic, classical, ambient and rave.
