love in times of repetition is the debut album from icelandic duo asonat. while a new project, its members are already veterans in post millennial electronic music. fannar ?sgr?msson (one half of plastik joy) and j?nas th?r gu?mundsson (ruxpin) with a little help from co-patriot kjartan ?lafsson (ampop & kjarr), japanese singer chihiro and the french singer ol?na simon have made an album that sounds less like a paint-by-numbers plastik joy ruxpin team up but a fresh take on vocal-centric experimental downtempo. as one might expect ruxpins soothing idm electronics are present as is ?sgr?mssons metered, programming and guitar but both artists elements are now shrouded in a new warmer blanket of timbre, style and emotion.
