Sigur Rós: Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

A major departure, Með Suð... finds Sigur Rós throwing their well-worn playbook out the window. Joyous, experimental, stripped-down and playful, it is unmistakably Sigur Rós, even as it diverges from their previous work. [24 June 2008]

Sigur Rós: Heima [DVD]

Play this in the background or simply give in to its slowly-building majesty, perhaps allowing yourself the liberty to fall asleep as it plays, and it's easy to love. [18 December 2007]

are the epitome of youth and isolation. They're young: at an average age of under 25, you wonder how these fresh-faced lads manage to invent such ethereal, seasoned soundscapes with seeming ease. They're creatively and physically isolated: Iceland is possibly the remotest sub-tropical slice of modern civilization, a glacial Atlantis with its own language and conflicting environment of earthly heat and atmospheric cold, yet fewer citizens than Oakland, California. When your neighbors and surroundings are so pervasive, you can't avoid turning inward for inspiration. [1 May 2001]
