Kiasmos Releases New Song “Sailed”
Last month, Faroese-Icelandic electropop duo Kiasmos, consisting of Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen announced their sophomore album “II” would be released on July 5, 2024 via Erased Tapes.
The album is their first LP in a decade since the 2014 self-titled debut album and comprises a 11-track.
From the album, the duo unveiled a new song “Sailed” on May 28, 2024.
The song is the fifth single off of the album.
It was written and produced by Janus Rasmussen and Ólafur Arnalds.
Ólafur Arnalds said of the song, "One of the more playful processes during the making of this record was the creation of Sailed. A no rules kind of affair that resulted in us putting a breakbeat, synthesisers, 808’s, a choir, piano and strings all in the same song. A personal favourite of mine from the record and one I’ve been looking forward to sharing with the world."- Janus Rasmussen added, "This song indicated that we had an album ready. It serves as a summary of the work we've dedicated to this project over the years. It's like the essence of Kiasmos in 2024, which excites me. This song has a slightly broken beat, synths, strings, and a lot of tension—to me, it has it all."
