Kylmyys

Seattle

Man invented instruments of war just as mankind invented musical instruments: one shows man’s primitive past and destructive tendencies, while the other taps into higher cerebral frequencies, which acknowledge the Collective Consciousness. Enter Kylmyys: Popularly referred to as an electronic/acoustic ambient act, but maybe more accurately this synth-duo could be described as artistic portrayers of the interaction between the blue planet and its denizens, crossing the flesh/metal divide by creating melodies and rhythms with new and old technologies. Influenced by such seminal acts as Brian Eno, Trent Reznor, Sigur Rós, Pink Floyd, Christoph de Babalon and Atticus Ross, Kylmyys is truly eclectic: These soundscapers blur genre boundaries with enigmatic, fluxing landscapes of sound, visiting an array of styles from Ambient, to Trip Hop, to IDM. Hailing from the city of Seattle amongst romantic, rain-drenched back alleyways and awe-inspiring, snowcapped, mountain tops— peaking through billowy clouds —Kylmyys musicians Brian Kidd and Jason Chamberlain do not have to travel far to find musical inspiration. However, since the band’s debut self-release The Ice Breaks at Dawn in the summer of 2012 and the subsequent release of the critically acclaimed single Cosmosis (released on Automation Records) in early 2013, thanks to positive reception on the Internet, these prolific songsmiths have gained attention far outside the North American Continent. This includes getting noticed by Swiss label Creaked Records, who will release the duo’s five-song EP, Isostatic, in January 2014. Kylmyys invites you to immerse yourself into its entrancing compositions and be transported into the musical milieu of percussive glitches interwoven with lush ambient soundscapes— connecting yourself to the source of universal biorhythms.
