Kiasmos, the acclaimed duo of Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen, returned after a decade with their highly anticipated sophomore album II, a triumph that builds on their 2014 debut. Born from a rekindled friendship and creative synergy, II merges organic orchestral elements with intricate beats and atmospheric textures, creating a sound both emotionally complex and sonically innovative.
Tracks like Dazed and Sailed reflect their growth as composers, blending influences from UK dance music with Ólafur's film scoring expertise and Janus' global DJ experience. Recorded with an Icelandic orchestra, II invites listeners into expansive soundscapes that effortlessly transition from ambient calm to explosive dancefloor energy. Through unconventional rhythms and "anti-drops," Kiasmos subvert dance music norms to create cathartic, hope-filled sonic narratives.
Catch Kiasmos live at The Princess Theatre as part of Open Season – a mesmerizing, upbeat journey through their ever-evolving musical world.
