"( )" comprises eight untitled songs that Sigur Rós have been playing at concerts over the past three years. A 30-second period of silence divides the 71-minute album in two halves, each half containing four tracks. The first half is light and optimistic, while the second half is bleaker and more melancholic and "plays more with your emotions," as Jónsi said. Comparing to the band's last album, "ágætis Byrjun," "( )" is more minimal and atmospheric than its predecessor. A rawer and darker album and consider   [ read more ]

Two years passed since Sigur R=s' debut. By this time, the band recruited in a new keyboardist by the name of Kjartan Sveinsson and it seems to have done nothing but take the band to an even higher state of self-awareness. Even on aesthetic matters, Sigur R=s entitle their sophomore effort not in a manner to play up the irony of high expectations (a la the Stone Roses' Second Coming), but in a modest realization.

VINYL FORMAT. On 180 gram viny! Sigur Ros' sophomore effort, Agaetis Byrjun. This is, their first full-length album to be properly released worldwide, and the reception thus far has actually lived up to the incredible anticipation felt by many. Gentle falsetto melodies drift over a heavy, psychedelic ambiance. The music is often slow, but never without passion. The energy is massive at a Sigur Ros live show; not visually, but like a sort of wave in the background, building and wanting to break. I've    [ read more ]

On these occasions, the band improvised a 20-minute section of music over a previously recorded backing track using two sheet-fed music boxes, a glockenspiel, an   [ read more ]

After floating in the same cirrus clouds for a decade, it would seem that the time has come for a change. Not to say that the lulling orchestral swells or Jon Birgisson's schoolboy falsetto have lost any of their magic over time; it's just that after releasing 40-some similar-sounding songs with undecipherable lyrics, it becomes increasingly difficult to differentiate one from the next. However, Hvarf/Heim isn't the album to mark a musical departure for Sigur R=s. The bandmembers show no real sign    [ read more ]
