I’m a massive fan of sígur rós and subsequently a huge fan of all the musicians in the band. To me, this is a massive digression from the usual style, but it’s something new! It’s fresh, and I really like it.
This sounds absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album. When is it going to be released? Any live dates planned?
Really liking ‘Boy Lilikoi’ great hearing Jonsi sing in English. Great article about this here http://bit.ly/7eIJ3F it has the album release date and mentions there’s a world tour in the pipeline.
