In four weeks – on May 28 in the UK / May 29 in the US  –  Sigur Rós release their highly anticipated new album Valtari on XL. Thanks to BBC 6 we now get to hear another song off it: «Varúð» . Stream it below. stream | Varúð

Sigur Ros are gearing up to release a new record, Valtari , in late May, but they found time to put together a Record Store Day release too. We’ve already heard the a-side, first Valtari single “Ekki Mukk,” and now you can sample the non-album b-side “Kvistur” too. For those of you who are into the band’s more experimental stuff, you’ve found a goldmine – atmospheric, sublime, distorted drones build to massive crescendos and then crash deliriously into the abyss. It sounds and feels like looking across an empty, snow-covered plain [...]

The good vibes just keep on rolling after a weekend of vinyl lovers the world over comes to a close. Sigur Rós were another band to put out a limited run for Record Store Day and they chose to put out "Ekki Múkk" which came nicely packaged with an featured an unheard track by the name of, "Kvistur". A beautiful track from a beautiful band and on a plus note, "Kvistur" won't feature on their upcoming release in May, Valtari . Check it out below.

Now that the sneak attack is complete, I can talk about Sigur Rós coming to the Mann Music Center this summer. The show is taking place on July 30th, a couple months after they release their new studio album valtari . "Kvistur" is a b-side for the 103 vinyl released this past Saturday for Record Store Day. I haven't seen an MP3 posted anywhere, but you can stream the track below. The special release also included the single from valtari , "Ekki Mukk" . No English translation necessary.

• Sigur Ros - Ekki Mukk

Iceland's resident love-them-or-hate-them band Sigur Ros have announced their sixth studio album to be released on the 28th of May. 'Valteri' will be their first album since their well received 'Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust' in 2008. To accompany the announcement, Sigur Ros have released the lead single from the record, 'Ekki múkk'. It's a 7-minute long track that's distinctly recognisable as Sigur Ros, despite being a million miles away from the brash pop of 'Takk'. The first thing to be noticed when listening to 'Ekki Múkk' definitely has to [...]

To everyone's excitement yesterday, including mine, Sigur Ros dropped a release date for a new album along with a track from said album. The LP's title is Valtari , and it's looking at a May release. The teaser track, "Ekki Múkk," is contained in the video above, and it's a bit of a stunner. I'm not sure if we're still using the phrase "post-rock" to describe this band, but if we are, the crescendos they pump out are still some of the best in the genre. The rising and falling strings and vocals on this track are [...]

Just hours after announcing their new album Valtari , Icelandic post-rock vanguards Sigur Ros have premiered album-cut "Ekki Múkk," an ethereal eight-minute beauty. You can stream the track below, with or without visuals. Valtari is out May 29th.

Sigur Rós : Ekki Múkk - Stream Sigur Rós est de retour le 28 mai avec un nouvel album, Valtari . Premier extrait, le magnifique Ekki Múkk . Sigur Rós is back on May 28 (29 in the US) with their new album Valtari . Listen to the amazing first cut Ekki Múkk .

Tweet Sigur Rós  never needed to put out a live album. The raw power of their LPs is enough to rank them among the greatest bands of all-time. But they put out a live album anyway, and it's an impressive one at that. Recorded over two nights at Alexandria Palace, "Inni" and its accompanying film (directed by Vincent Morisset ) are stunning examples of Sigur Rós in all of their ambiguity, as a [...]

Jónsi, the singer of the Icelandic band Sigur Rós has recently written the score for the film 'We Bought A Zoo'. The soundtrack to the film contains two original songs by Jónsi, Ævin Endar and Gathering Stories which you can listen to now on Jónsi's site . We Bought A Zoo stars Matt Damon alongside Scarlett Johansson and is about a family that use their life savings to buy a rundown zoo in the English countryside. The film was directed by Cameron Crowe, the same man behind Almost Famous as well as Vanilla Sky (which also featured the [...]

Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi penned the score for Cameron Crowe's upcoming film We Bought A Zoo , and while the outlet for his new songs may surprise you, the music itself is subtle, tender, and orchestral in a way that’s pure Jónsi.

"Gathering Stories" is one of two new songs Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi wrote with film director Cameron Crowe ( Almost Famous ) for his new feel-good family flick We Bought a Zoo , starring Matt Damon and Scarlet Johannson. The We Bought a Zoo soundtrack, scored by Jónsi and filled with reworked Jónsi material, is out December 13th. Listen to the first of the two new songs on the soundtrack below, courtesy of NPR.

"Lúppulagið" is the gorgeous and reverent previously unreleased studio offering included in Sigur Rós' new live album and concert film, Inni , out next Tuesday, November 15th. Even without Jonsí's signature, life-affirming falsetto, the emotional depth of this band's work seems limitless.

Remember that weird and mysterious video we got from Sigur Ros titled " Klippa "? Well it turns out the material being cut in said video is part of the history of the upcoming live film. The clothing is to be included in the special edition of the release and be a "unique concert artefact". Have a little read of the band's newsletter: "...what has thus far only been alluded to in the short film klippa, released earlier this month, we can now officially reveal: the "unique concert artefact" within each and every one [...]

Tweet Having just appeared on the band's website , this video which splices concert footage with non-concert footage is for something, we just don't know what yet. A documentary about belly buttons, perhaps?  See what I did there.....? I'll get my coat.

Tweet Ray Levinson-Fort, aka Selva Oscura, was brought to my attention when a few of my favorite blogs were favoriting his music on Soundcloud. I was immediately taken by my now favorite track of his, "Mid Spring": a mezmerizingly drippy melody, ending a nostalgic rave beat. Along with his imaginative compositions, he has a great ear for sampling- "Honey Flow", for instance, appropriately uses Feist's "Honey Honey" intro as more of a haunting accent and less of a cameo centerpiece. His expert arrangment in [...]

No group can call itself something like A Lull and keep an entirely straight face. You'd expect the name to be deceptive and you'd be right. "Confetti", the name of their debut album released last week, does a much better job of capturing what this Chicago quintet is all about: these guys write colourful tracks, thick with percussion and bristling with energy. "Weapons for War", the album opener, is a stunner. It opens with percussive vocals reminiscent of Sigur Ros ' "Gobbledigook" [if you don't remember the song you might remember the nude video ], both [...]

It's been a while since we've heard anything from Icelandic dream pop outfit Sigur Ros , most likely due to frontman Jonsi 's solo outings, having released an ambient record with his partner Alex, and his acclaimed Go last year. The band has just uploaded a wad of previously unreleased material on their Soundcloud page, including demos, alternate versions and live renditions of some of their songs, all of which were produced in 1999 and 2000.
