Sigur Ros is an Iclandic post rock band with minimalist, orchestrated elements and a very peaceful vibe. With such a unique sound, they manage to capture the haunting beauty of a snow covered wasteland; its sweeping and delicate, with an edge of mystery provided by the language barrier. This album is almost entirely sung in Icelandic, but that just adds to it... and makes it all the more impressive that they are able to communicate their meaning to you, even if you don't understand what exactly they are saying. There's clever usage of palindromes, backmasking, and even some slightly shoegaze-y elements to be found. If you have some soul searching to do, this band will be your soundtrack. Please enjoy!
