Anyone heard of this Icelandic band? I heard a couple of their songs out of pure accident. Afterwards, I started downloading a bunch of their stuff, and I must say, it's damn good. It's very different from what most people are used to, the most noticable difference is they don't sing in English (and I don't think it'd be the same if they did). They have a very quite and haunting sound, but it's beautiful. The frontman sings in a high and gentle tone (the sound something like Floyd/Enya, if that makes any sense), sometimes hard to tell it's a guy.
For the most part, their music is very mellow. Perfect for laying back and relaxing. |

I know, I'm a youtube junkie Judging from the video, it looks like a great show to catch. Especially under the influence of a controlled substance.

That sucks, I wish I knew about it earlier. They are coming to San Rafael, but the only tickets left are $50 for the second to last row. I don't think so. |

Next month (or later this month) this cd is going to be on sale fo $10 at all Virgin Megastores if anyone is interested. I'll be picking mine up once it goes on sale as that is actually cheaper than my discount would be. |

He's right. It's called Hopelandish. |

I down loaded a video of them performing at the Late Late Show and he plays with a cello bow. It's pretty cool. They played Njosnavelin, my favorite Sigur Ros song so far. |

the lead singer plays a les paul using a cello bow. i suggest downloading some of their live shows. very good band. and the new album is pretty darn especially since the lyrics are in a made up language. |

Yeah, I've heard a lot of their stuff and I have really been meaning to check out their latest cd. In fact, if I weren't saving up to buy all of the Fleetwood Mac remasters that come out this Tuesday, I would probably buy me some Sigor Ros tonight. I first heard of them through mutual Bjork fans, and have heard that they are somewhat similar.

Sigur Ros is pretty good, I agree. I have a hard time getting over the foreign language, but I still love their sound. Svefn-g-englar is such an amazing song. |
