Riceboy Sleeps (Import)

VINYL FORMAT. Known primarily for his haunting falsetto and other-worldly presence in Sigur Ros, Jon Thor Birgisson has - together with his partner Alex Somers - been exhibiting artwork and staging exhibitions under the name Riceboy Sleeps for two or three years now. The album Riceboy Sleeps is human in a profound and verging on spiritual way. It says nothing, literally, and yet living through its 68-minutes you emerge feeling much has been revealed. Its slowly evolving abstract landscapes are both edifying and life-affirming. The record works as a whole, and exists in a contemplative dream-state, unconstrained and mesmeric, seemingly outside time.
