Sigur Ros Back With A New Ablum
Icelandic musical masterminds Sigur Ros are coming back with their fifth album to be released June 24th on XL. The album (which I assume will be epic) marks a number of firsts for the band: first album recorded in places other than Iceland (studios in New York, Cuba, London, a church in Iceland), first song recorded in English, and a recording process that involved less deliberation with more live and single takes making the final cut (this last aspect seems to be increasing with modern legit bands [see: Kings Of Leon, Wolf Parade, etc.]). The album title, as translated in English, is With A Buzz In Our Ears We Play Endlessly (sweet name), and the first single, "Gobbledigooks" will premiere on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show tonight. After that, you can download the single for free from www.sigurros.com. Album art below.
