Recently, Sigur Rós signaled their new release Valtari with the lead single " Ekki Múkk ," which was also released as a 10" for Record Store Day . The B-side to that release, the non-album "Kvistur," has now surfaced. Head below to hear the haunting track. Read More...
Kvistur , el b-side de la banda islandesa de post rock Sigur Rós para Record Store Day , fue develado y ya puede ser escuchado. Tras compartir el primer single (y videoclip) de su sexto disco Valtari , Ekki múkk , el conjunto liderado por Jónsi Birgisson editó el fin de semana la edición limitada en 10" con el track que no será parte del larga duración. Valtari [...]
Facebook Whilst perusing the shelves at Soundscapes on Saturday, was a little surprised to find Yann Tiersen's latest Skyline - released last year in Europe and last week in North America - filed under "World Music". Looking a bit closer, I saw that it was actually in a World Music subsection marked, "French Pop" which I suppose is technically accurate, but also not really. In fact, I'm glad it's not my job to try and file Tiersen's records because it's something of an impossible task. Sure, [...]
Aún no estamos en mayo, y por tanto, no hay nuevo disco de Sigur Rós , pero si que hay material nuevo. Hace poco os contábamos los detalles de la nueva producción y ahora hay algo que añadir. Como sabéis, este fin de semana se celebraba el Record Store Day 2012, día que llama a los melómanos a echarse a las tiendas de música para rebuscar entre sus vinilos y descubrir viejas y nuevas rarezas. Una de ellas es "Kvistur", cara B de un tema que pudimos escuchar hace poco , "Ekki Múkk". Esta [...]
New music from the veteran Icelandic group.
It was a cold and rainy day but didn't stop people for Record Store Day 2012. Surprised by the turnout when I got to Vertigo Records at 8:30am. There was already people in line, I was around the 20th person. Last year I was one of five people who got there at around that time. I guess the buzz and hype surrounding Record Store Day is a good thing for the indie record shops. I totally zoom by this year's event. Here is a list of what I bought. [...]
Earlier in our coverage of Record Store Day 2012, KEXP has covered both the full list of record exclusives and live events around Seattle ; however, amidst the many, many special releases available this weekend, we've highlighted the vinyl releases that we're super excited about.

Remixes of The Suburbs tracks "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) and "Ready to Start" by producer Damian Taylor with Arcade Fire. [...]
A l'occasion du Record Store Day qui a lieu demain, Jonsi et sa bande ont décidé d'être généreux avec leurs fans à la recherche de la moindre perle sortant de leur four. En effet deux vinyles totalement inédits et exclusifs sortiront respectivement en Amérique du nord et eu Europe. Record Store Day : Amérique du Nord - « hvarf / heim » A la base sortie en 2007, ce double album n'est sorti qu'au format CD. Exclusivement pour [...]
It's happening again this year! Record Store Day 2012!! This will be my third year trying to get whatever "limited edition" records around. Like previous years I made a list of what records I wanted to get and what I bought . I understand some of the release will be available only in the UK and USA. The Ottawa music stores that are participating are: Compact Music CD Warehouse Birdman Sound [...]
After multiple quickly-sold-out pre-sales, tickets for Sigur Ros 's Prospect Park Bandshell show will go on sale to the general public at noon today (4/20). Since we last posted Sigur Ros dates, there have been two festival developments. Sigur Ros were announced on the lineup of Outside Lands which is on sale now , and Lollapalooza announced who was playing each day and put single day tickets on sale (Sigur Ros play on the [...]
Idioteque - Radiohead @ HP Pavilion, San Jose, 2012-April-11. The incredible lighting as seen in the picture above is by Andi Watson ( interview ) who has been doing Radiohead's lighting/stage design since almost the beginning of when the band first started touring nationally. Thank you W.A.S.T.E. for the incredible seats. One of the best Radiohead shows I have ever seen, and that's mainly because of the lighting. ( More pictures: Flickr ) If you could travel back in time which at the rate of technological advancement (see: Technological [...]
![[Listen] Sigur Rós: "Varúð"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4211489_lg.jpg)
Con todo lo que estaba pasando alrededor de la carrera de Jónsi en solitario, un nuevo album de Sigur Rós no parecia verse en un futuro cercano pero conforme fuimos entrando al pasado mes de Febrero de la mano de algunas confirmaciones de Sigur Rós dentro de algunos festivales, era mas que evidente que estariamos teniendo un nuevo material de ellos como continuacion de lo que fue "Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust" en 2008. Ahora, quiero pensar que ya cada uno de ustedes ha podido checar el primer adelanto de "Valtari" y [...]
With three-day passes selling out yesterday, Lollapalooza released their "which artists on which day" rough schedule. The announcement (click photo for larger image) came with the release of single-day passes, which are available now for $95. Conflicts are inevitable (in life as well, but, forget about that), and it seems that Sunday presents the biggest challenge. Jack White , Florence+The Machine , At the Drive-In , Justice , and Sigur Ros are scheduled to play as the day's largest acts, so decisions are likely going to be made, [...]
The first single for Sigur Rós' Valtari , " Ekki Múkk ," arrived with the fanfare and warm reception expected of that dramatic moment - after all, it was the first new recording under the Sigur Rós banner since 20082s Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust . "Ekki Múkk," though, isn't much like the Icelandic group's best known songs - the types of songs that score Wes Anderson movies - rather, it's a spare, glistening track, majestically arranged yet spacious, never rushing to any kind of conclusion, thrilling or otherwise. It [...]

The Outside Lands 2012 lineup has dropped like the little birdie that flew into the rumor mill!
I'll be the first to tell you that the Outside Lands festival in San Francisco, CA is a damn good time. I went there for the first time last year and even documented my time on video . And based on this year's line up it looks I'm going back to the Bay Area this summer. Metallica, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Stevie Wonder, Jack White, Foo Fighters and Beck will lead the charge this year at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Sigur Rós, Justice, Dispatch, The Kills, Regina Spektor, Passion Pit, Grandaddy, [...]
