default236 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I love Sigur Ros, and have always felt Jonsi Por Birgisson's voice reminded me a lot of Ben Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Show Don't Tell Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Okay, I had Ágætis Byrjun sitting on my hard drive this whole school year and didn't get around to listening to it. Doing so right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adace1 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Couldn't resist listening to the Kveikur samples. Absolutely incredible. I'm dying to hear this album.http://www.7digital.com/artist/sigur-r%C3%B3s/release/kveikur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adace1 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Kveikur is amazing. It's their most accessible album so far, yet they throw in a lot of experimental elements to keep it as fresh and artistically relevant as their past works. My standouts so far are Brennistein, Isjaki, Hrafntinna, Stormur, and Var (perfect closer). 9.5/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I'm really liking Kveikur. It's a great balance to Valtari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I listened to it once and really liked it. I loved Valtari, but I think I'll end up enjoying this one more in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) Funny as I just discovered this band (I'd heard the name before but it didn't mean anything to me) because I stuck my How the West was Won CDs in my minivan's CD player only to find that the 2nd disc listed the 3rd disc's track order, and the 3rd disc listed the tracks from a Sigur Ros album. WTF? Anyone else have this issue? If it's a bumbled bootleg, it still sounds good enough I guess, but I expected better from professional criminals! Anyway, I checked out SR on YouTube and they are fantastic. I started with Brennisteinnand went from there. Absolutely love it. Back in the day, I had to listen to entire Skinny Puppy album to hear as much good stuff as you can hear in 30 seconds of SR. A lot of what I heard reminded me of these guys. I guess they both belong to this "post-rock" genre. I'll have to check out more bands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2lA7Oyv864 God is an Astronaut "Fragile" Edited September 11, 2013 by Rutlefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) I love Shoegaze and so know most of those bands, whereas I hardly know anything from the post-rock group. I'll have to check it out, thanks. This is a track from a band one would not normally associate with either shoegaze or post-rock, but check this out (2005)...

ReRushed Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 This band's music can simply lift me up. The songs wash over me and fill me with optimism. Love 'em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
