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...

He can't sing, he can't play any instruments but he's rarely out of tune!"
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.
