There are a lot of things that can go wrong with trying to set up a cold atmosphere. The number one thing is if it comes across cold in an emotionless or robotic way (unless, of course, that is your intention). Kiasmos are a duo that know just how to avoid that, and make their cold atmosphere one of enchantment and blanketing comfort. In the case of Kiasmos, their self-titled debut full-length, the delicate melodies and textures lead to a shimmering and ultimately gorgeous atmosphere and sound. It works dually as background music and for attentive listening, as the minimal nature of the record is easy to listen to as well as having very nice songwriting subtleties. There are some surprisingly explosive moments here too, like the ending of penultimate track "Bent" that keep things fresh. It's quite the beautiful and well-written debut, and because of this and several great EP's, Kiasmos is a duo that is putting themselves at the forefront of microhouse.
