    Recently discovered this album. Mid-tempo beats, organic ambient electronic music added with strings and piano suits perfectly. Very pleasant surprise!

    Listening to this album just making me chill everytime, getting all the emotions from it, bringing back memories. The beat, the piano, the tunes just relaxing and upbeating at the same time. Perfect album for loop just like the song.

    Kiasmos has the feel of one of those albums that electronic heads will continue to celebrate with each passing decade, a work incomparable to any of its contemporaries that elevates the conversation for them all.

    What their debut lacks in innovation it makes up for with emotional eloquence. [Nov 2014, p.76]

    It might not be much in the way of a surprise for those who’ve listened to ‘Thrown’ or ‘Looped’, but working from divergent influences is rarely simple, and Kiasmos iterates on the ideas explored in these earlier tunes with serious skill, electronic and traditional influences so tightly woven together that the LP maintains a very definite sense of identity throughout, and is pretty much impossible to poke holes in.
