Watch the brand new feature below. Go will see daylight in March of 2010! MP3: Jonsi - Boy Lilikoi

Jónsi (front man Sigur Rós) komt in 2010 met een solo album en Boy Lilikoi is het eerste uitgegeven nummer. Als je hem niet verstaat komt dat dit keer niet omdat hij zingt in een zelf verzonnen elventaal of in een elventaal die ze in IJsland aan hun bevolking hebben geleerd, maar omdat je zijn Engels niet verstaat. Het nummer heeft het vrolijke van de vrolijke nummers van Sigur Ros en verder is het eigenlijk Sigur Ros maar dan in het Engels. Het beurt mij wel op in ieder geval, zo met deze koude dagen. Want koud [...]

A couple of months ago, Jón Þór Birgisson (or better known as Jónsi ), frontman of Icelandic post-rockers Sigur Rós , released an instrumental record/art collaboration with boyfriend/partner Alex Somers titled Riceboy Sleeps under the moniker of Jónsi & Alex . While newsworthy, the first single didn't really do so much to satisfy any casual fan of Sigur Rós, and really just came off as nothing more than a throwaway artistic endeavor. I suppose that project was just a warm-up [...]

Lilja Birgisdottir When it was revealed that Jon Thor Birgisson was going to be working on a project separate from Sigur Ros , many - well me, at least - assumed that the instrumental Riceboy Sleeps record which came out earlier this year was it. But in fact, it was credited to Jonsi & Alex , the titular Alex being Alex Somers of Parachutes and Birgisson's boyfriend and the project being something else completely. Which is just as well because while it was a pretty piece of atmosphere, [...]

Sometimes gay dudes like to sleep a lot. OK, that's mostly just me, and it's usually unintentional how long I sleep. Like today, I had a full day planned but of course my stupid ass just slept the whole thing through because I'm fucking stupid. But you know, sometimes you just need to do that. That's usually when the best dreams happen and you can actually REMEMBER them (fyi: I never remember my dreams usually. Todays dream: My roommate took in a stray dog that peed all over everything). The masterpiece as of late used for the [...]

Don't get me wrong, I love England but there are many moments when I desperately want to get out of this country. The root of such feelings usually derives from this country's depressing weather climate. Supposedly the month of November saw the most rainfall out of any month since 1914! Which is just lovely. Either way I've conjured up a little mixtape with some old and new songs for those ever-present rainy moments. Just don't forget your umbrella... Jonsi - Boy Lilikoi [...]

So it's not particularly new news that Jónsi (aka that guy with the high voice from Sigur Ros ) will be releasing his first solo album, called Go , on March 22, 2010. What is new is the fact that when you hear it you'll double over crying and your tears will be sticks of licorice which will taste like the poop of angels and then Philip Seymour Hoffman will be there too and he'll give you a piece of pepperoni pizza and a Segway and you'll talk about Animal Collective while playing patty-cake on a [...]

Sigur Ros singer-guitarist Jón Pór Birgisson has announced details about his forthcoming debut solo album. Birgisson is set to release his first solo, entitled ' Go ', on March 22, 2010 under the name Jonsi . Fans can get a free download of the track, " Boy Lilikoi ", off the singers debut album now via his site, Jonsi.com . Sigur Ros ' Go ' [...]
Loose ends. Tie them in. Previous blogaruu in two. Clever thing would probably be to delay this but plough on! Quantity all the way! Gemini. Exit route. As I was saying, it is good to know that with people who are into their star-signs here, being a gemini is a way out for any of [...]
I already posted a link to 'Boy Lilikoi' from Jonsi's upcoming album Go . If you don't know, Jonsi is the frontman in the Icelandic band Sigur Rós, and this is his first proper solo album. It'll be released on March 22nd, 2010, and Jonsi's manager John Best said this about it: "Everything about this record has a seat of the pants feel about it, its wildly shifted focus, the way nothing (including the album itself) had a title til about an hour before the news hit the blogs; the fact that as I type I still [...]

top photo: I.Anton "Say no more, use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by" Jónsi Birgisson has arguably - and it's hard to put this any other way but lightly - written his most beautiful song since 'Hoppipolla'. Never likely to be understated, 'Boy Lilikoi' contains everything your averagely jaw-dropping Sigur Ros song would, only it's written in English, it's formed upon an acoustic guitar pattern, and, that's about it...It would fit beautifully into 'Takk', an equally instant but overwhelming listen overall. And what's [...]

Το ομολογώ! Πολλές φορές ονειρεύτηκα ότι ήμουν boy, έστω και lilikoi. Αλλά στους χειρότερους εφιάλτες μου δεν είδα ποτέ ότι έγινα Coldplay... jonsi : boy lilikoi

As there seems to be a temporary lull in the career of Sigur Ros , their members seem to be making the push forward with music of their own. Jonsi has a new album coming out in March on XL Recordings , and oddly, this opening track seems similar to a more symphonic Mew piece, which also features lyrics in English! It's really like the soundtrack to Peter and the Wolf meets Mew . Try [...]
Sigur rós have long been one of my most admired bands - when I saw them last summer at Hydro Connect it was one of my highlights of the year. Now lead singer Jónsi Birgisson has gone solo, and this is the first single from his new album, "Go", which is out in early 2010. Continuing the upbeat trend of Sigur Ros' recent work, if this is just a taster I am VERY excited to hear the full length. [See post to listen to audio] MP3: Jónsi [...]

Continua la frenetica attività di Jonsi, il cantante dei Sigur Ros . Il leader della band islandese, dopo aver pubblicato Riceboy sleeps , un album prodotto con il suo compagno Alex Somers dei Parachutes, è ora al lavoro sul suo primo disco da solista. Mentre alcuni brani dei Sigur Ros e dei Jonsi&Alex sono stati scelti per la colonna sonora di "The boys are back", film del regista Scott Hicks, il prossimo 22 marzo uscirà "Go", l'album di Jonsi che si annuncia prevalentemente acustico e impreziosito da grandi arrangiamenti di archi. Intanto, sul suo [...]

First came a side project from Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi Þór Birgisson and his partner Alex , called Riceboy Sleeps . Only six months later we're seeing the first glimpses of a solo album by Jónsi , simply called Go . The album will be release in 2010 via XL Recordings , the same label that Sigur Rós is signed to. On December [...]
2010 is approaching soon. Twelve new months full of brand new music, from old veterans, young bands and complete upcomers. Just to go up-to-date on what's happening with the artists that pleasure Flint's tastebuds, it's time to give a little checkaround to 2010's possible offers by artists I'm intrigued about. Rumours, confirmed news, it's all here. Not keen on the artists I display? Give a sly prod at the other writers, maybe they'll reveal their musical stalking results as well? After the cut, a big list of various names. [...]
