I didn't shoot the show but it was amazing to experience their music!! I wasn't expecting on going to this concert on March 29th. But thanks to a friend who had connections, I got to see Sigur Rós play at Ottawa's Scotiabank Place . The last time the band played in Ottawa was 2005 at Bronson Centre. That was a show you couldn't miss back then. Now jump ahead to 2013 with six albums under their belt and a seventh album going to drop on June 13th. The [...]

Aquí está el video de "Brennisteinn" el primer sencillo de Kveikur , la nueva producción de Sigur Rós . Dejaron a un lado el sonido de su disco pasado Valtari para hacer algo un poco más pesado. Enjoy.

They're backkkk! After dropping their sixth album Valtari a little over a year ago, Sigur Rós have announced that they will be releasing a new album called Kveikur on June 18th via XL Recordings . Now a three-piece, following the depatrure of multi-instrumentalist Kjartan Sveinsson, the band teased the upcoming release with a video for the opening track "Brennisteinn." If the video is any indication, Sigur Rós has changed their direction a bit heading towards darker, heavier sounds while still maintaining their [...]
Sigur Rós have just announced they are to followup last year's chilling Valtari this summer, with Kveikur - an album being pitched as channeling the darker, more aggresive side of the band. To prove it, they've released the video to new song Brennisteinn, opening with the kind of aggressively metallic drones and clatters that have rarely been heard since Ágætis byrjun and ( ). But there's something new at the heart of Brennisteinn , nestled in amongst the juddering bursts of bass and increasingly gothic aesthetic the band are adopting. Coming soon [...]

Jónsi, Georg and Orri – Iceland's finest liberators of isolated post-rock – are missing a member this spring. Following the departure of longtime keyboardist and musical collaborator Kjartan Sveinsson in January, the band have been touring Valtari of yesteryear across much of the world with an entirely new setup though as ever, a maze of session musicians follow their every step and for this, their latest jaunt, modest string, brass and choir sections converge with the trio onstage. It's upon a deadpan, cold winter breeze that Sigur Rós bring Valtari to Brixton [...]

"World Premiere Event! Public screenings on all seven continents. Join Sigur Rós fans from around the world for a unique program of short films." This year Icelandic band Sigur Rós released their sixth album Valtari . The band did something creative called "Valtari Film Experiment". Sigur Rós gave a dozen film makers the same budget and asked them to create whatever comes in to their head when they listen to songs from the band's forthcoming album. The idea is to abandon the usual approval process from Sigur Rós, and allow film [...]

What ended up being both the most surprisingly brilliant set of Harvest was most definitely Sigur Rós ' festival-closing set. The Icelandic four-piece created an ethereal soundscape by means of Jónsi 's signature falsetto and bow-guitar playing, as well as a mini backing orchestra. This ethereal soundscape spread a sort of magic throughout the festival, as festival-goers were entranced, while some were even shedding a few tears (which I may be guilty of...) due to the dramatic euphoria and build-up of the music. There is just something absolutely magical about [...]

O 14º vídeo da série Mystery Film Experiment leva o nome de Valtari , mas a faixa-título do último disco do Sigur Rós é acompanhada por trechos de três outras músicas dos islandeses no clipe divulgado hoje. Durante os dez minutos desse novo trabalho, Ekki Múkk , Rembihnútur e Varúð também aparecem para embalar o balé filmado pelo diretor Christian Larson.
