VINYL FORMAT. Special UK pressing! ( ) comprises eight untitled songs that Sigur Ros 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 Jonsi said. Comparing to the band's last album, agaetis Byrjun, ( ) is more minimal and atmospheric than its   [ read more ]
