Sigur Rós

[Matthew]

Hmm.. until recently i was oblivious to this band, i've heard quite a few people talk about them, and i've never heard any criticism at all...

so finally i decided to go out and get ágætis byrjun and oh my god, i am in love with this band, although i can't understand a word of icelandic, the vocals on top of the music, its................... wow

just had to go out and get ( ) today, and yup...... fucking amazing ^_^

anyone else here like them?

[sunburnt]

weeeell im glad to hear someone mentionin sigur ros here!ive got both their albums and seen them live this summer.i have to tell ya i was stunned when they ended their show.u have to catch them live.and we have to find someone from iceland to translate us some lyrics. :)

[tjej]

sigur ros are wank.

[trinitron]

you need not find someone from iceland to translate. just go to their website, and you'll find translations. http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/band/lyrics.html

they're still wank even in translation...

[Matthew]

as are you m'dear, as are you :)

[Biblical]

i saw a video by them with some children in like a nuclear bomb attack and they went outside and played and it was snowing ash, i cant remember the name, any ideas?

[gremlin]

Untitled#1.
Very pretty song.

[magister]

Sigur Ros are amazing. Agaetis Byrjun is in my top 10 albums and ( ) is not too far behind, if only because of the last song on the album which creates the best climax to an album I've heard. The drumming in the last few minutes is not too shabby either! I hope they come to NZ one day.

[Paul]

Quality.

Only recently started listening to them, but it's very calming stuff.

[Mortifer]

Sigur Ros is amazing!!! I love them! I'm Icelandic, if anyone needs translation! :)

[The Dreaded Monstro]

I like some of their stuff, although I don't know if I'd go to effort of getting any of theire albums. Very mellow music too, I'd have to be in the mood.

[Drunk muser]

ace band :D
like em loads, wish i could understand icelandic :(

[Matthew]

and Hopelandic?

[Larsen B]

i almost bought one of their albums today the 'aegitis....'(sp) one,

the only reason i didnt was because it was MVC and naturally the card cover was in piss poor condition, i think im better off taking my chances with Amazon :cool:

yes :D :D :D get that album!"!!!!!!!!11!!!

[aidanon]

all ive heard is untitled #1 and it is an incredible song. The video is so powerful and it is the 1st song that actually ever brought a tear to my eye. thats a good sign i think

[Matthew]

the album with that track ( ) is amazing :) and yesssh, that is a beautiful track

and i adore ágætis byrjun even more ^_^

[christoph]

sigur rós are great, i have a few songs. i really like staralfur and untitled 8.

[Larsen B]

the album with that track ( ) is amazing :) and yesssh, that is a beautiful track

and i adore ágætis byrjun even more ^_^

to be honest im only gonna buy it cos y'all are raving so much about it, ive never heard anything of theirs, but the bands they are related too make me wanna know :D

[Matthew]

thats why i did it, it was totally not what i expected, but i adore it :D

[Larsen B]

good, hopefully im open minded enough to like it :cool:

[Larsen B]

ooh i bought it today, you cant go wrong for 7.99 and it hasnt so far, its nice and very calming, i can imagine the snow and ice already
i'll go listen to the rest now....

[Larsen B]

sorry to talk to myself but...

it was bleeding amazing! all the way through it was excellent the ending is just so superb as well..

roll on agaetis bryjun (pfft SP)..

[doddy]

Pure utter unadulteratted genuis!!!!!!!!!!!!!

() is a work of art, soundscapes from heaven :) 3 and 4 are my favs

[Matthew]

hmm.. i wanna get Von and Von Brigdi

[Annette]

I LIKE EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D they are lovely..

[Devonboyonice]

Maybe they should write more than one line for the next album

[trueblue]

hmm.. i wanna get Von and Von Brigdi

i wanna get them too, but only really for the sake of having them, not because i love what's on them. i haven't heard von brigdi yet but von is just like 'ba ba ti ki di do' in that, a lot of the time not much seems to be happening, and they're just playing around with sounds. like a less-interesting múm. nevertheless, ágætis byrjun is my favourite album, ever, and ( ) is the album to listen to whenever i want to magnify whatever emotion it is i'm feeling.

oh yeah, by the way, here's a page of song translations: http://www.alwaysontherun.net/sigur.htm

[Watch Me Put It On]

You guys had worked out that ( ) isn't in Icelandic i hope. Its nonsense, 'Hopelandic' - a language created by Jonsi - as beautiful as Icelandic none the less. Most musically competent country in the world i reckon.

[Watch Me Put It On]

Wooo my first post ever about one of the best bands ever.

[Matthew]

i knew it was :)

[Mickey_Mouse]

Since I've heard Bjork I'm surely enamoured in Island. One month ago a mate recommended me Sigur Ros - album () ... and then I was listening it ...and was wondering how they could create so incredibly beautiful sounds...they come from deep in heart...their music is so true and when I listen it I'm happy that I'm alive :) I've one question... If anybody know anything about their tour dates in Europe?? :D

[Spiral]

Maybe you search on google for the tourdates? ;)

Sigur Rós are awesome, didn't like them in the beginning but now I love them! =D

If you like music from Iceland you should check out Emiliana Torrini as well! =)

[Larsen B]

indeed they are awesome, its like youre there staring across the ice...

http://www.muse.mu/board/showthread.php?t=501&highlight=sigur+ros

[Brigitta]

yes sigur ros *love*
another good band from iceland is called Múm, saw them live some time ago.

[Apocalypse King]

Yeah Sigur Ros are great.. Their songs are beautiful :)

Another band from Iceland that I like are Minus, hehe they're kinda the opposite of Sigur Ros in sound :p

[dboradio]

Yeh i just recently bought agaetis byrjun i think was the title. Every time I listen to it, it makes me so happy because it is so beautiful. It doesn't even matter that I dont know what any of the words mean. Of course a lot of the songs dont have real words, just made up words that go with the music. Very interesting.

[spondulies]

they truly are great. one of my faves after buying () - stunning stuff
, delightful vocals.
untitled 8 gives me shivers down my spine :p
especially when they closed their glasto set with it. WOW

if you down own it, buy ()! :)

[moments_of_happiness_elude]

Sigur Rós is indeed a great band. And their music is beautiful!
I have both their albums: 'Ágætis Byrjun' and '( )' and I like the first one more than their second, although the second is also very beautiful :)
I would really want to learn the Icelandic language, just to be able to understand the lyrics on the Ágætis Byrjun album (I know that there is a link with the translation of the songs, but Icelandic just sounds so beautiful!)

[Riff]

I love this band is just amazing and the songs are so beautiful plus the only girl i love is from iceland .Man i feel good :cool:

[Simone]

does your avatar have anything to do with donnie darko?


ahem.. anyways, yeah.. I heard some Sigur Ros at a coffee shop once. I recall liking it. I'll look for their website and see if they have any mp3's or sound samples. if they don't, fuck em' (all bands should provide that kinda thing on their website.)

[trueblue]

I don't know the the Fleck dude but Sigur Rós are absolutely brilliant. Ágætis Byrjun is my top album of all time... but let's hope the album they're recording now can top it :D And let's also hope that they expand their album tour beyond Europe and the USA!

Simone, SR have a very generous selection of downloads on their site, go to http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/media/index.html. Some of their best songs are on that page too.

I noticed :) that's very cool of them!

hopefully my computer will work better and faster tomorrow :( so I can hear some of it

[Mr. Pink]

Ágætis Byrjun is my top album of all time...

I think that's something we can both agree on. Three of my favorite songs have to be Flugufrelsarinn, Njosnavelin, and Svefn-G-Englar . Great stuff.

Njosnavelin and Svefn-G-Englar were both featured in Vanilla Sky. Which was a pretty good movie, but having Sígur Rós in it made it that much better.

hehe, hey diamond in the dust... your name looks a bit familiar ;)

[Boc]

ive only heard njosnavelin or i think its untitled 4 and i really like that song but from the clips ive heard their music is not so melodic as it is weird. Can anyone justify to me why i should part with my hard earned to buy an album?

[Matthew]

agaetis byrjun is the more melodic, i'll find a couple of tracks for you

[Matthew]

Sigur Rós - Starálfur (http://mp301.epitonic.com/files/reg/songs/mp3/Sigur_Ros-Staralfur.mp3)
Sigur Rós - Svefn G Englar (http://mp301.epitonic.com/files/reg/songs/mp3/Sigur_Ros-Svefn_G_Englar.mp3)

there y'go

[TetrisMaster]

has anyone heard the cover of ny batteri that the band thursday recorded? it's good.

[axxe chikka]

Thursday covering Sigur Ros? Thats, um.............interesting. But yeah, I love em (SR, not Thursday :LOL: ) I have ( ) and am currently looking for the other album. I might go check out the site that has the downloads. :)

[venny]

sigur rós is amazing.

[Ryou]

Ah, Sigur Ros are absolutely amazing... especially love Ágætis Byrjun. Perfect album. <3

[Boc]

those links dont work :stunned:

[SoulOfBrokenGlass]

One of the lads I live with played me a track of theirs last month.... they are amazing. I cant remember what the track I heard was though.

Definately going to borrow my mates album when I get back to uni

[Teh Man v1.2]

This Band are Brilliant! I bought ( ) A while back and thought it was truly Stunning! Nice to see More people on here who like them,too!

[Sarah]

Pretty. Listening to it in the dark right now..

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

Untitled 1 <3 <3

[Sarah]

I take it no one else has bought tickets to see them in July?

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

They're only playing at Manchester and Glasgow, why no gigs down south?

[Sarah]

A London gig was announced today.

[Paul]

A London gig was announced today.

Ah for fuck's sake. Has to be the day before I start jury service...arse. Why the hell do they have three dates I can't do :(

[tupelohoney]

loved this band for years

[Bakesh]

I love this band too but am kinda falling out of love with them atm, i guess. ( ) "album" left kind of a bad taste in my mouth. There's just so much pointless noise in it that it's probably one of my most disappointing album purchases. The first 2 songs and the last song are really the only songs I can tolerate listening to at any time. All the other songs I have to be in absolutely the right mood, or i'll just skip it.

That said, they are amazing live, and their first two albums are great. Sometimes I think I actually like Von better than Agaetis Byrjun just because there's no sound wasted and it all has purpose. I saw them in concert when they were in St. Louis I think 2 years ago in November. Very moving and passionate show, the guy in front of me had to put his head in his lap b/c i think he was crying a little.

All in all, I hope their next album drops most or all of the gibberish and pointless noise and gets back to the business of wow'ing my ears!

[Johan]

Sigur Rós are amazing. Can't wait for the new album.

[buji]

Anyone know where I can get tickets for the London gig in July or have they all sold out??? :(

[sog-fish]

I love sigur ros, someone sent me vidrar vel til loftarasa over MSN and I was hooked, so I got agetis byrjun or whatever it is, and ( ). Best songs I reckon are flugufrelsarinn, hjartað hamast, viðrar vel til loftárása, dauðalagið, vaka and popplagið, with popp being the best. It has so much emotion and meaning in it to me even though I don't know what he's saying, he's probably not singing real words anyway, just sayins 'you sigh' lots :) but the climax and the ending are breathtaking.

[Bluedini]

Sigur Rós are the shit, nuff said. With the exception of Von which was just shit.

[end of part one]

UK tour dates announced -

London Brixton Academy (November 9)
Edinburgh Corn Exchange (10)
Liverpool Philharmonic (13
Birmingham Symphony Hall (14)

[sedserased]

My drama teacher uses them alot in our stuff and it's amazing, we recently did a performance about heroin at the big youth theatre festival and used "Untitled 1" from the () album and it was, if i must say, amazing, the guy that had to do a speech over the music was almost crying...it was so beautiful. I love it when he sings "hopelandic" the most, i like doing it myself though it doesn't quite have the same effect...

[Fluky]

i saw a video by them with some children in like a nuclear bomb attack and they went outside and played and it was snowing ash, i cant remember the name, any ideas?

I love that song, thats like the only song of heard from this band tho as i couldn't find anything else on them really :( but i have def been looking out for their album cuz it sounds quality stuff :cool:

[christoph]

i'm going to try and go see them in London.

i got hold of a copy of Takk today, and so far it's sublime. it'd be a dream come true to see them live.

Takk really is utterly awsome, Saeglopur and Gong in particular are really interesting, some of it sounds a bit too ( ) but other than that utter sex.

[shadowkay]

fuck me

i remember drinking vodka and apple juice to track three on ( ) when i was 16


awesome band

ps whats the song where in the video its kids playing football

[christoph]

Takk really is utterly awsome, Saeglopur and Gong in particular are really interesting, some of it sounds a bit too ( ) but other than that utter sex.

just finished listening to it.

Hallipolla is an outstanding track, and i think this album is probably the best i've heard from them yet. Gong is fantastic too, the drumming really caught me off guard. vocals on Se Lest are incredible.

[Thessi]

I like Takk, which is a bit of a surprise as I used to dislike them...

They have a llllllovely sound :happy:

[Wowee Zowee]

[retardedgenius]

Listen to ( ) in winter when the ground is covered in snow. You won't regret it.

[axxe chikka]

Has anyone else seen them live? I saw them last week. That thing they do with the screen and the silouhettes is just incredible.

[axxe chikka]

Listen to ( ) in winter when the ground is covered in snow. You won't regret it.
I doesn't snow here. :'( So I'll just setlle for a dark room with some 'mood' candles. :LOL:

[Bakesh]

I saw them live....was quite an experience. Lots of people around me (I guess the uneducated) were expecting and encore. As far as I know, they rarely, if ever, do encores. I was fully satisfied with what they did that night :) And I did actually pass them walking to the show, they were heading in the opposite direction and I was like, "hmm, wasn't that SR?" I thought, "naww couldn't have been, they had a bunch of girls with them, groupies?". It wasn't till later that I realized the girls with them was the string quartet that plays with them, Amina.

Anyway, it was a pretty intense performance, Jonsi was up there singing the crap out of his made up language, and I was feeling just the right amount of buzz from the liquor. Was a night of breaking stuff, too....i broke my glass and kind of tucked it under my seat hoping no one saw, and Jonsi had his bow break on him :p

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

I'm falling in love with Takk.

[Fluky]

i'm going to try and go see them in London.

They are even the featured artist on AOL of all places :eek: and I like the 3 tracks I have heard, so I will buy today hopefully.

Oh and Meteroa you can download for free from their official site.

[Chizzleface]

Takk is a gorgeous album, just as good if not better than (). It's on my mp3 player all day in the car now (I bought it and copied it if you must know!) I'd love to be able to understand Hopelandic so I could know what the hell they're singing about though!

[Alec Trevelyan]

Untitled#1.
Very pretty song.

I listening to Sigur Ros for the first time today and I listened to that song and I have to say they're awesome :happy:

Is Hopelandic even actually words at all?
I heard is was just ramblings, and what whats-his-name thinks suits the song well.
Is Takk all Hopelandic like () or does it have some Icelandic?

[Larsen B]

I'm not sure but I think it's only () that's in Hopelandic and Takk is Icelandic, you'd have to ask an Icelandic I suppose. I haven't got Takk yet, but I keep listening to an mp3 of Fonklagio from 1998 (excuse my ignorant spelling) practically on repeat, it's deliciously funky and quite unlike them.

Everybody told me it was a great band but I hadn't cd of them so I bought "Agaetis Byrjun" (like you) and woaaaaaaa... I was so surprised!!!!! They are genius! I love their melody, their voices, their sound... Moreover, I've learned they're going to give voncert in my town in 2 weeks... so maybe I'll go.. They have to be better in live I think!

much much better live. they are great. but trying to compare them with muse live is pointless. they both bring different vibe. but of course i did cream myself seeing both of em live.

[BlackoutMatt]

Sigur Ros? Never heard of them.








yeah, anyway...Vidrar Vel Til Loftarasa > Everything else.

except perhaps GY!BE-Sleep.

lickeyourmom from the sr board? silly question, why would two people have that name...

and Grimmy from the HoTS board?

Sigur Ros are on Jools Holland tonight.

Sigur Ros are on Jools Holland tonight.

:'( You people are so lucky to have a great show like Jools Holland, in North America all music shows are such crap! :'(

I'm listening to Takk... right now :happy: I love it!

[Clunge]

Paul Wellar, Santana, Sigur Ros and John Cale :D

[Tallulah]

They're clearly amazing...

[YellowSphere]

except perhaps GY!BE-Sleep."They don't sleep anymore on the beach..."

On topic, Sigur Ros is an amazing band. Listening to ( ) now.

Hopelandic features on all their albums. You can recognise it from the syllables, they sound like "you sigh so low" and stuff like that. Basically, if you think you hear something along the lines of "you sigh so low" it's Hopelandic. I think the only song to feature both is Hoppipolla.

Von from the first album is in hopelandic and it's that track which actually led to the "language" (none of it actually means anything, it's just gibberish) being named that (vonlenska is Icelandic for Hopelandic). Olsen Olsen and then Gong, Andvari, Milano and Se Lest are all sung entirely in Hopelandic.

[expanding_universe]

Finally got tickets to their show in Sydney, neither floor nor seating, I'll be standing in the foyer!

[Bakesh]

Going to see them Tuesday in St. Louie....score! ;)

[Chaos Theory]

awesome band! i really love what they do, i have 2 albums now, and i'm seeing them at the enmore theatre in april , then 2 days later again at the great escape! i can't wait!

[Chaos Theory]

Finally got tickets to their show in Sydney, neither floor nor seating, I'll be standing in the foyer!
i got seating tix, kinda right up the back tpo the sydney gig, he he we should meet up!

[Tallulah]

Tickets to see them in London? I think so. Can't wait. I actually will cry...

I can't decide whether they were better at The Great Escape festival or at their own sideshow. :happy:

edit I: I almost wet my pants during Olsen Olsen. C'est vrai.
edit II: And because I was in the foyer at the Enmore, I managed to sweet-talk the techies in front of me to give me their setlist when they were done.

[Whispers Of Aeth]

Heya. This is my first post and i would like to start by saying Sigur Ros are my favourite band :D

I saw them live two weeks ago for the first time and they were without a doubt the best band ive ever experienced. Totally flawless :eek:

[Raptor]

Hey hey hey I´m fom Iceland and I love Sigur Rós;) It would be interestin to try to translate some of the lyrics...

styrkar@msn.com if you wnt a chat...;)

[.canada.]

my favourite songs so far are
njosnavelin, svefn-g-englar, hoppipola
their pretty good;)

[musefreak]

One of my favourite bands!
Their music is just so out of this world... so much beauty.
Especially live... I've seen them twice so far and each time I was so overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of the music...

Seeing them again this summer...
oh my, Muse and Sigur Rós at the same festival... too good!
:happy:

[Miran-duh]

i miss them :( i want them to come back !

[Jambo234]

They are easily one my favourite bands.
It strikes when you first listen to them that you're listening to something very special.
Agaetis Byrjun is a magical album, which takes a few listens, but then it becomes a stunning album.
They are the one band who I am desperate to see live this year.

I still need to buy Von and ( ).. But that'll be in a while.
Agh, that week was one of the best all year. :(

I still need to buy Von and ( ).. But that'll be in a while.
Agh, that week was one of the best all year. :(Von is so cool. It's like, you hear five tracks of feedback and noise, and all of a sudden there's a track which could've been by My Bloody Valentine. It's ace. Nothing like their other stuff. Curiously, they've gone on to be sort of, less experimental sounding with each album, Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do discounted.

[Whispers Of Aeth]

[jwozencroft87]

any one here like them too? :)

[Max]

No. (http://69.16.237.208/showthread.php?t=501)

[Plug_In_Bellamy]

Yes!

[Caman]

yes they are absolotely amazing in my opinion! they are in my top 3 bands along with radiohead and muse! i think there best songs are untitled 8, heysatan and glosoli! thank you for opening a thread about them they deserve one!

[jwozencroft87]

I love Hoppipolla and Agaetis Byrjun. I've only just got into them, but they are stupidly good. Very relazing music! Nice for a change :LOL:

[koolkile]

Ja, long time fan here. They're simply astounding. not like anything else I'd usually like.

Good for a bit of a chill out.

Apparently amazing live, too!

[the latest plague]

ohhh saw them live 2 weeks ago,amazing.i love them,takk is my favourite album

[Plug_In_Bellamy]

Yeah i saw em on Later with Jools Holland (class bloke:) ) They're amazing, and i've seen videos and the lot, seen the one where he sings into the guitar? Breath-taking it really is.

I dont think i have favourite songs by em, they're all so captivating, but tell you what. Go watch the Glosoli video. When they're running up the hill, a boy drops the drum and just before the frame changes you see the girl behind tripping over it. Gets me everytime!

Hardiharrr...

[destructiveaesthetic]

they're oh so good...although I'll have to admit I saw them 2 nights in NYC and during the second I fell asleep :stunned:

[Plug_In_Bellamy]

Well i guess they're really dreamy and like lullaby like. Smooooth. So i guess we could let you off.

Unless...

Unless you were bored?!

:LOL:

[destructiveaesthetic]

nooooooooooo neverrrrr...it was my first week as a college student...in nyc...and I was average a concert each night...that was day 7....

the seats were so plush and the dream-like music...come ooooon

[Plug_In_Bellamy]

If i were them, i be thrilled to see someone fall asleep because id be amazed that the music was so enchanting that it'd make you fall asleep, like a spell.



Then...

Put everyone in the world to sleep and steal pens and draw on peoples faces.

[Chillbee]

I like them, they're pretty good.

[Wowee Zowee]

MERGE the threads

I love untitled 8 ive been listening to it alot lately i think its the best song on () I love that album

mine is track 3...and it was at the end of Mysterious Skin (anyone?) and the scene with the music...I briefly forgot where I was and what I was doing with my life (but really I was in Wales on vacation so...)

[bewwy]

i love vaka, so cool and deep...:happy:

[greywolf.]

I love 'em:D

[Ryno]

These guys came to my attention about a year ago and have since became one of my favourite bands of all time. For those of you who have never heard of them before, they are a fully instrumental icelandic band (in a less than traditional sense), they use a wide range of instruments in their music and instead of using their vocals lyrically, they use them as more of an instrument, using their own hybrid of icelandic and hoplandic. If you taken the time to listen to some of their music, don't go trying to understand what they're singing - You wont. As I saw explained in an interview, it's not the bands intention to use voice as a means of producing words, but rather as a means for producing sound. For those of you who have heard of the band and have taken the time to listen to some of their work, what are your thoughts on the band?

You can check out some of their stuff here:

they do, I posted my crappy gig photos from when I saw them (twice) this year. :happy:

[destructiveaesthetic]

I saw them (twice) last year and I'm full-on gonna admit during the second show I fell asleep for a bit.

Mind, I fucking love them...but they either make me fall asleep or trip me out.

Everytime I give their albums a first-listen I somehow am fucked-out sleep wise and it gives the whole experience a magnificent aura...I highly suggest it when the next one comes out.

Any news on when that could be?

[Ryno]

Despite their being fairly well known, you'd be surprised how many people there actually are who have never even heard of the band, kuz. It's a shame too, as destructiveaesthetic mentioned, there's a rather magnificent aura created by their music.

By the way, destructiveaesthetic, it's alright... I listen to either their untitled album "( )" or "Takk..." at night, their music helps me get to sleep. Mind you, I love their music just as much at any other point in the day, but there is no better band to chill out to than Sigur Rós - Especially if you've smoked some weed.

[MatthewLeGrand]

Beautiful music. :)

[Muse_Cubed]

To me Takk is their weakest album. Agaetis Byrjun and () crap all over it. I just found Takk a bit...well, meh. There's nothing on it which can even start to compare to Untitled VIII and Hjartaõ Hamast.

Thanks to Sigur Ros I'm also starting to get into Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky. Gotta love ambient.

[craigacp]

I'm afraid of listening to anything other than Takk...should I?


I think Takk is the best thing they've done that is most like music. Apart from Untitled 8 (I like that a 11 minute long song that sounds like the apocalypse is coming is called the Pop song). () is good, but its a very different kind of good to Takk. And Ágætis Byrjun feels in a similar vein to Takk, but isn't quite as good.

[Chizzleface]

I'm having a sigur ros phase at the moment :happy:

I really really want to see them live...but only if I can watch them in Iceland under an autumnal setting sun...because that would last the whole gig and fit so well with the music :D

[pubicmage]

This band has always seemed interesting to me, but I've still never actually heard a note of their music. Which album should I get first?

But the Untitled's are just so dreamlike it's untrue.
Well, putting it that way, i guess all of their songs are, but theres just something about them in particular that could make me listen to them whenever.
They're the ultimate traveling songs IMO.

Ha. Care to share on those "crazy dreams"?

You should! Check out () not as good as Takk, but very very good.

Lol! Nice one! Road rage... hehe. I don't know about driving because I don't drive. But yea... I do listen to them when I go to sleep. It's amazing because the melodies and all just kind of makes you sink into subconscious so easily. Maybe it's just me. Heh.

Too far away. You gotta see it soon.

Sigur Ros are soon becoming my favourite and most complex band behind Muse. I love them. Knights Of Cydonia, All My Life (Foo's) and Saeglopur are my 3 anthems in life, they're so powerful.

Takk is amazing, as is Agaetis Burjun.

Love for the Ros, the best band since Muse.

[Kieren]

Bought ( ) the other day having never listened to this band before. Beautiful! :'(

Are their other albums as good?

All of them! Agaetis Burjun is quite intense, Von is more early-Radiohead-like but still works, and Takk... is probably my favourite, just the most elegant and beautiful music. Plus, the ever-epic Saeglopur.

The reason I live outside Muse :) x

[YellowSphere]

Von is more early-Radiohead-likeWhat?

PS: Anyone in the Milton Keynes area who really wants to see Heima is welcome to come and watch it around mine. ;D

Sigur Ros' myspace bulletin. :D

Hello.

Sigur Ros and YouTube make a little bit of history this Friday (Mar 7) with the band taking over the entire front page of the site around the world for a whole day, becoming the first group to ever have a feature-length music DVD streamed on the channel, with their acclaimed 'Heima' documentary shown in its complete 97-minute glory.



All 12 available slots on YouTube's home page will be devoted to the Icelandic quartet for a full 24-hours, putting them before a global audience of hundreds of millions. The link-up follows the success of 'Minn Heima', a competition hosted by YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/group/MinnHeima) for fans of the band to create their own little version of 'Heima', using audio and video clips posted online. The 10 best entries, as judged by the band, will be featured on the home page, alongside the film itself, as well as a special message from the band, taking time off from recording their new album in Reykjavik.



YouTube has only previously hosted a handful of long form presentations, none for music DVDs. It is the first ever UK home page "takeover" since the launch of http://uk.youtube.com - the localized home page that allows for country-specific video rankings and comments.



Simultaneous with the YouTube promotion, the band will launch www.sigurros.com, giving away a free audio-visual download clip of the song 'Ny Batteri' filmed live in Reykjavik in the summer of 2006 as part of the Heima tour. 'Ny Batteri' is just one of a dozen additional songs not featured in the film that the band are intending to make available via the site in the near future. Information about the forthcoming album will also be revealed via www.sigurros.com…

[YellowSphere]

Disc 2 is the raw performances from the film without interviews overlaid, and more band orientated than environment orientated footage.

I couldn't imagine watching Heima on YouTube. As far as I'm concerned, it has to be heard on a proper 5.1 system and seen on at least a 37" screen.

Sigur Rós will be releasing their new album worldwide the week of June 23. It is called Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust.

You can download the first track "Gobbledigook" and watch the video right now on SigurRos. com.

This is the official announcement sent out by the record labels today…

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
(English spelling: Med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust)

Sigur Rós will be releasing their fifth album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (English translation: with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly), worldwide the week of June 23.
The first track from the album, entitled "Gobbledigook," is available worldwide for free download via SigurRos. com.
The video for the song is also on the website.



A pre-sale for the album will begin on SigurRos. com on June 2. A special deluxe edition of the album to be released later in the year — featuring a "Making Of… " book, a film and more — will also be available to pre-order on the band's website as of June 2.
A stream of Með suð í eyrum… will be available to hear on SigurRos. com on June 9. Lastly, a plethora of Sigur Rós goodies — exclusive clips, information on tickets for upcoming shows throughout the year, etc.
— will be available to those who sign up for the mailing list on SigurRos. com.



Með suð í eyrum… was co-produced with the band by renowned producer Flood, and was recorded in New York City (at Sear Sound Studios), London (at Assault and Battery Studios and Abbey Road), Reykjavík (at Álafoss, the band's studio, as well as a church in Reykjavík), and Havana, Cuba. Whereas Sigur Rós' last release — the critically-acclaimed documentary Heima, chronicling their free tour throughout Iceland — took the band to their homeland, their newest creation, Með suð í eyrum… is the first album in the band's career to be made outside of Iceland. It is also their first album to feature vocalist Jón "Jónsi" Thor Birgisson's vocals in English on one track (the remainder are sung in Icelandic).



Inspired by the unfettered feeling of the acoustic performances filmed during Heima, Sigur Rós decided to adopt a looser approach in the writing and creation of their brilliant fifth album. The material for the album was written, recorded and mixed entirely in 2008 and is being released just one month after its completion. The album glows with the perfect imperfection of live takes, the sounds of fingers playing guitar strings, cracked notes, and a stark, upfront presence not found in previous Sigur Rós recordings, moving away from reverb-soaked guitar sounds towards something altogether more affecting. The record also contains some of the most joyous music the band has ever recorded.



Opener "Gobbledigook" sets the tone for Með suð í eyrum… with its shifting acoustic guitars, playful vocals, time signature swings and swirling percussion, while "Inní mér syngur vitleysingur" ("Within me a lunatic sings") sparkles as one of the most anthemic songs Sigur Rós have ever written. "Festival" is epic in its elation and scope, "Illgresi" features one of Jónsi's finest vocal melodies over a lone acoustic guitar, and "Ára bátur" is the largest musical undertaking in the band's career, as it was recorded live in one take with the London Sinfonietta and London Oratory Boy's Choir, a total of 90 people playing at the same time. The band also utilized the talents of their string-quartet friends Amiina, as well as a five-piece brass section on certain tracks, in addition to introducing the Mellotron into their writing/recording process for the first time on this album, highlighted on one of the most tender and beautiful songs on the record, "Fljótavík.

"

The spirit of Með suð í eyrum… is best captured by the album's stunning artwork, contributed by acclaimed visual artist Ryan McGinley. McGinley first met the band when he photographed Jónsi six years ago; the album cover was taken from a flyer for McGinley's most recent exhibit, "I Know Where the Summer Goes," which happened to find its way into Jónsi's inbox just as the band was deciding on how to best visually represent their new collection of songs. The result is a perfect synergy of the aural and the visual.

Gobbledigook is gonna take some time too :( kinda upsetting for the first song from the band I've been most anticipated for a new album from :(

Still, it's gonna be great...right?

trust me. It's fucking awesome. Half of it is so lively, like half an album of hopipola's and olsen olsens. the other half, is like vaka, except more amazing. Yet again, SR have not failed to please.

also, it has a song in english. still cant understand it though.

Just got into Sigur Ros a few weeks ago and they're excellent.
I'll be going to their concert on 2nd August at Hordern Pavillion, Sydney.:)

Going to listen to the new album soon. There's so much Internet buzz about their live shows at the moment, particularly last weekend at Bonnaroo. Utterly insane!

[Clunge]

New album is fantastic.

[Kieren]

11 hours and I'll have my hands on it :)

[Milky Joe]

I might be seeing them tomorrow. If not, I'll get to see them at Latitude Festival :)

This album is really good. I love some of the upbeat numbers and Festival is just immense.

It's been a long day, and I've only gone though it once so far, and I'm kinda let down to be honest... Their pioneered this wonderful, beautiful sounds, and as much as the piano monents create the same tension, it's lost its reverg guitar :(

It's just gonna take a while.

[Milky Joe]

Yeah! back from Sigur. Way better than Radiohead would have been ;).

the venue was so small! it must have had about 2000 people tops (standing and seating)

They played a real encore! they came one twice to bow (lol) but the crowd still wanted more so they had to come out and play one more :happy: beautiful.

[Lurlene Tyranna]

Someone who's seen them live -

are they as good as on record? Should I see them? Ahhh

[Milky Joe]

Someone who's seen them live -

are they as good as on record? Should I see them? Ahhh

They were really nice live. I'd probably actually suggest seeing them seated unless you want to get really close, as crowd action was pretty minimal, but for a bit of clapping and nodding. The studio recordings of songs like Glosoli and Hoppipola don't compare to how they are live. With most bands, I find if I don't know the words, seeing a song live is quite boring, but Sigur Ros must be the sole exception to the rule.

This is fast becoming one of my favourites of the year. Someone at work on Sunday asked me in quite a monotone fashion 'What is this? This is beautiful.' :LOL: At work, we are all agreed that this is brilliant.

:LOL: funny

I'm all about the Staralfur. I must see them live, though I'm guessing it's very different to your traditional kind of gig. Many people swaying rather than circle pitting I suppose

To be honest, when I first saw them, I was hungry and my feet were aching a lot, so it kind of ruined the experience. I would say the best way to see them is sitting down; either with a seat or not. I find it very hard to stand in one place for a while (at normal gigs there is jumping and moshing etc, so I'm not rooted to the floor with sore feet).
