Portis More feel-good techno with touches of melancholy from the Kiasmos duo. Extensions of their sound from previous releases. Quality constructions indeed again. Also nice to have the more minimal feel of the Tales Of Us remix :)

about

Following on from their Record Store Day ‘Looped EP’ release, which featured remixes by Dauwd and Lubomyr Melnyk, Kiasmos – made up of Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen – return with three new tracks and a remix by Tale Of Us.

Recorded in various locations including Reykjavík and Berlin, the EP opens with ‘Drawn’, a four-minute percussion fuelled track with gentle piano motifs. ‘Gaunt’ features the addition of ambient synths and a drum loop, underpinned by slow-moving chords. Title track ‘Swept’ which the duo offered to fans as a surprise gift in form of a free download card at previous show dates, showcases a more club-oriented beat structure alongside Kiasmos’ signature emotive instrumentation.

Closing the EP is a remix from Berlin-based duo Tale of Us who met Kiasmos in London and twist the original downbeat title track into their distinctively dark aesthetic. Pulsating hats and a driving bass loop add pace as the track builds toward an epic breakdown.

'Pattern of the North' does it for me. Truth be told, I've only listened to Pattern of the North... it's so fresh that I had to include it in my pirate_radio MixSets at Mixcloud. I need to circle back and give this release a complete listen. MD's Music Exchange
