Sigur Ros

Sigur Ros are letting people listen to their new album "með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust" (obviously, I can't pronounce it and I had to cut and paste the title from their website on to here!), for free, two weeks before it is released.

I seriously recommend you surf on over to www.sigur-ros.co.uk and access the special audio player and listen to it. Achingly beautiful and uplifting - it's classic Sigur Ros.

Truly wonderful, heart-melting stuff...

Did you know that the language used in Sigur Ros lyrics (and on their track listings and album covers) is actually a mixture of English (which is why you sometimes tune into a recognisable word while listening), German and Icelandic. But it is something totally contrived by the band itself and utterly meaningless. Some may regard that as pretentiousness. I view it as a valiant attempt to get people to listen to words as simply part of their utterly beautiful sound and not impart any meaning to them. Well done.
