After releasing their debut album of unique Nordic electronic sounds in late 2014, Kiasmos made up of lafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen return with a special 3-track EP featuring album highlight 'Looped' and remixes of album tracks 'Held' and 'Burnt'. Made in lafur's newly build studio in Reykjavk, Iceland, the title track 'Looped' was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesizers, drum machines and tape delays. It also features lafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable tune. UK electronic producer Dauwd (Kompakt/Ghostly), who Kiasmos specially selected to perform at their sold out London album release show as well as remix their track, has crafted a chilled club version of 'Held'. Whilst Ukrainian pianist and fellow Erased Tapes artist Lubomyr Melnyk has created a unique re-interpretation of 'Burnt' in his signature ''Continuous Music'' mode, performed on two pianos.
