Artist: Sigur Rós

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Exclusive , Spinner Says Jerritt Clark, Getty Images We all know who you're hoping to see at Coachella this year. You're eyeing that post- Richie Hawtin slot at the Yuma Tent on Saturday night at 10:45. You're wondering if they'll come out with Phoenix again (our pick). You're even trying to figure out how long Jamie Jones, Wu-Tang Clan and Red Hot [...]

With horns blaring, "Dirty Summer," the new song by Austin's Mother Falcon , starts off big. For nearly three and a half minutes, it never really settles down. Their huge sound can largely be attributed to the fact that they began as an after-school jam among a handful of high school orchestra students looking for a more creative outlet than reading sheet music. With anywhere from 15 to 20 people in the band, it's no surprise that they have meshed a variety of influences - their sound is what you might expect if Sufjan Stevens , [...]

B3SCI has teamed up with the good peeps at Danger Village to drop this exclusive mix of their choice Spring 2013 worthy jams. Owner Beth Martinez curates the mix track by track below. Hibernation doesn't stand a chance. 1) holychild “Best Friends” This song sets the tone perfectly for what I want to come across in this mix. For spring we’re looking to brighter, organic sounds threaded through with good feelings of friendship and laughter. Shifting away from the electronic-heavy vibes of the last mix, this song [...]

Sigur Ros Bayou Music Center April 9, 2013 If you ever want to feel like you've completely taken leave of Planet Earth for a couple of hours, might I recommend a ticket to a Sigur Ros show? The... Continue reading "Last Night: Sigur Ros at Bayou Music Center" >

Hey all you lucky Coachella goers! Southern Cali's biggest party just released the set times for both weekends. This is bittersweet news for most as the dream of seeing every band on the wish list officially comes to an end. This year poses some serious conflicts. Some of the ones that pop out to me are headliners are Purity Ring vs. Band of Horses on day 1, Sigur Ros vs. Phoenix on day 2 and Vampire Weekend vs. Father John Misty and the matchup with biggest upset potential of them all to close the festival in the Red [...]

I launched Seen Your Video just over a year ago and to commemorate our anniversary, I've made a long-overdue list of the Best Music Videos of 2000s . While researching the 2K decade in music videos, I found it largely to be a story of two halves. The first half was dominated by groundbreaking visionaries like Michel Gondry , Spike Jonze , Mark Romanek and Floria Sigismondi , many of whom, after leaving their mark on music videos have gone on to successful careers in feature films. The other defining characteristic of the early [...]

It's nothing short of astonishing that an ambient Icelandic band who don't sing in English or write songs in a verse-chorus structure are filling arenas across the US. Some of the next acts to p... Continue reading "Sigur Ros at Verizon Theatre, 4/8/13: Review and Photos" >

Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival Texto: @folkmetender Igual que todos los festivales, Coachella ofrece una gran cantidad de bandas en vivo, muchas de ellas, simultáneamente en distintos escenarios.

Grinderman Dividimos estas bandas en dos categorías: las consolidadas y [...]

After last year’s success, the European post rock festival institution DUNK!FESTIVAL decided to go bigger. One stage more, bigger space for merch and music sales and an extended line up are the logical step into the next level. Again the local team worked very hard to set up a professional festival infrastructure in a really The post Dunk!Festival 2013 - A Look Back appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

Mt. Wolf  é uma banda composta por 4 ingleses que migraram para Londres e produzem um dream pop que parece misturar influências de  Of Monsters And Men ,  Daughter ,  Bjork  e  Sigur Rós . Já conta com um EP lançado em Outubro do ano passado, o  Life Size Ghosts , e agora se preparam para o lançamento do segundo EP, que sai ainda esse mês.

For those unfamiliar with my Icelandic music fetish, experimental-classical music or that one song he did on The Hunger Games soundtrack,  Ólafur Arnalds is a former hardcore drummer gone neo-classical producer who's been quietly acquiring representation as one of the most talented and ethereal musicians from Iceland. His stylistic range is one thing, but his undeniably hypnotic and captivating instrumental work functions on a thematic level so high, it feels as if it couldn't possibly have come from human hands. Past records such as ...and they have escaped the weight [...]

It has been several years since I last saw Sigur Rós in Kansas City. That performance was a the now-defunct Madrid theater, and that show was memorable for a couple of reasons: first, the band was as impressive live as advertised.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]

Queens of the Stone Age Texto: @rulobn Cuando se trata de conciertos, siempre existe el entusiasmo de ver a buenas bandas visitar nuestro país. No es lo mismo ver la reacción de la gente y experimentar la entrega en el extranjero, que en uno de los grandes foros que afortunadamente tenemos en México y que, muchas veces, han albergado a pequeñas, medianas y grandes bandas que se van con un buen sabor de boca. Este 2013, un sinnúmero de bandas comienzan a materializar su trabajo con discos nuevos, sencillos que [...]

• sigur rós - Ekki múkk

Sigur Rós @ UIC Pavillion, Chicago (4/2/13) Sigur Rós live is unlike any other rock concert experience out there. They begin the night behind a giant screen which projects large silhouette of themselves. The guitar is primarily played using a cello bow. There’s enough backing musicians on stage to perhaps qualify as a small orchestra. Many of the songs are sung in a made-up language nicknamed Hopelandic, the rest in Icelandic (singing a long is not really an option). There’s almost zero crowd interaction from the band at any point. The [...]

Middle of the Map Fest officially starts tonight, but the best show in town is about seven miles northeast, at Starlight Theatre, where the Icelandic post-rock titans in Sigur Ros is performing. The group has a well-earned reputation as one of the finest live acts in the world.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]

Photo: Geoff Leung Sigur Rós . Jónsi. The end. Alright fine. There is a little more to it than that. The Icelandic marvel hit the saintly city last night with a near two-hour performance at Roy Wilkins Auditorium. A battalion of extraterrestrial bodies could have landed and busted through every locked door in the Twin Cities and I, as well as the other few thousand people at the Roy, would have been oblivious. Beauty and craftsmanship is the bottom line [...]

It might be a blessing in disguise that my iPhone died the day of the Sigur Ros concert. My inevitable crappy Instagram pictures that I was bound to take during the visual and audio spectacle that occured would have done the show injustice. And my god, what a visual and audio spectacle it was. Playing Toronto for the second time in eight months, the Icelandic group opted for a theatre configuration inside a cavernous ACC, which in result created a far different atmosphere then the Echo Beach show. Whereas the latter show was one [...]

I had the luxury of seeing the Sigur Ros tour last summer when they played a magnificent set on the lake shore just outside of downtown Toronto (see picture above).  With the skyline as their backdrop they played through almost two full hours of absolutely gorgeous music.  If you like even one song from the band I highly recommend that you get out and see their current tour .  You will not be disappointed. Speaking of their ongoing world tour - the band from Iceland is doing it in support of an upcoming all new album that [...]
