So many records and so little time. Some good and some bad. I'll tell you what I think and let you listen if you want to. At least of few of these albums might even find themselves lingering near (or perhaps onto) my favorite albums of 2008 list. The new Sigur Ros album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust , sounds markedly different than much of the Icelandic group's previous work. Instead of creating grandiose cinematic swells that conjure up images of majestic landscapes, this one sounds much smaller and much [...]

To celebrate the release of the full-length debut, The Elephant In The [...]
