Icelandic electronic duo Kiasmos recently dropped a new EP entitled Swept, and now "Gaunt" from that same release has been treated to an accompanying video. Exclaim! has got your exclusive first look at the new clip.
 
The duo, compiosed of Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen, come together on the latest release to create a balance between "the late-night club energy of the electronic world" and the "wispy, morning ambient drifts" of piano and strings. The hypnotic sound gets matched with equally captivating visuals of a mysterious rotating prism floating atop a majestic-looking mountain.
 
You can hear the two-man team deliver their music live on a string of West Coast North American shows this month. Find the dates below, and keep scrolling to watch the video premiere of "Gaunt."

Tour dates:

12/08 Los Angeles, CA - Echoplex
12/09 San Francisco, CA - Mezzanine
12/10 Portland, OR - Holocene
12/11 Seattle, WA - Lo Fi
12/12 Vancouver, BC - Biltmore Cabaret
