Sigur Ros have been busy since January this year recording a new album in Abbey Road Studios with Flood as their producer. They have apparently recorded 11 new songs for the new lp which is reported to be different from their previous albums, “Von” 1997, “von brigoi” 1998, “Agaetis byrjun” 1999, ( ) 2000, and “takk” 2005. Sigur Ros are my ultimate favourite band and I keenly follow everything they do having been to two concerts in Toronto. I love their music for its beauty, magic and etherial qualities. While they may not be to everyone’s taste, and although you can’t understand the lyrics at the gut level you can appreciate their emotive soundscapes in the most primal way. I am keenly anticipating their next cd and can’t wait to see what they do next. They are one of the few original bands out there who are true artists and who offer their own unique music of which no one else has surpassed in beauty. The new album, title as yet unknown will apparently out this spring/ early summer. Whahoo.
