Beemo 1,373 Posted February 1, 2013 Sigur Rós is an ambient/post-rock band from Reykjavík, Iceland, who have been active since 1994. Known for its ethereal sound, frontman Jónsi Birgisson's falsetto vocals, and the use of bowed guitar, the band's music is also noticeable for its incorporation of classical and minimalist aesthetic elements. The band is named after Jónsi's sister Sigurrós Elin. Discography: Von (1997) Ágætis byrjun (1999) ( ) (2002) Takk... (2005) Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (2008) Latest album (2012) Mystery film experiment project: Sigur Rós have given a dozen film makers the same modest budget and asked them to create whatever comes into their head when they listen to songs from the band's new album valtari. the idea is to bypass the usual artistic approval process and allow people utmost creative freedom. among the filmmakers are Ramin Bahrani, Alma Har'el and John Cameron Mitchell.

Solar Fields 4,163 Posted February 27, 2017 Just discovered them and I've listened to Takk twice. I'm now starting my first listen of Ágætis Byrjun. Any tips for getting into their music? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitschesque 9,884 Posted February 27, 2017 Just discovered them and I've listened to Takk twice. I'm now starting my first listen of Ágætis Byrjun. Any tips for getting into their music? Be aware of the language of the vocals being made up at some of their work. Its purpose is to make you imagine what the lyrics are so that they're 100% accurate to what you feel listening to the song. That is truly iconic if you ask me 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
