Takk..., the fourth album from Sigur Ros. Written, performed and produced by the band (along with co-producer Ken Thomas) at their studio in Alafoss, Iceland, Takk... is the record to justify every amazing claim ever laid at this exceptional band's door. Huge and intimate, orchestral and gossamer-light, rich layered and essentially simple, Takk... is a work of a band operating at the very top of their game. It accomplishes what maybe they haven't done since they first appear   [ read more ]

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 ]

VINYL FORMAT. Insound Staff Pick - 2008! 180 gram vinyl! Inspired by the unfettered feeling of the acoustic performances filmed during Heima, Sigur Rós adopted a looser approach in creating their fifth album Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust. The album consequently is fresher and more human than anything they've previously recorded. Rough edges, cracked notes, and the sound of fingers on strings are audible resulting in tracks (e.g. Íllgresi) that prove to be the band's sparsest and most affectin   [ read more ]

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 ]

The first U.K. release for Iceland's Sigur R=s is a stunning, self-contained EP of epic aspirations shot through with over a half-hour of funereal, taunting excellence. Two studio cuts from the superb -gµtis Byrjun make up half the release -- the gasping, virtuous sighs of "Svefn-G-Englar," the sub-zero buildup of "Vi=ar Vel Til Loftßrßsa" -- but the real treats are the other live tracks found at the back of the dramatics. Both "N²ja Lagi=" and "Syndir Gu=s" show off a desolate, aural stag   [ read more ]
