sigur ros

sigur ros, band out of iceland since 1994, released their first album in 1997. they have a really amazing sound, and make some very cool videos. if you just wanna chill out in another world, this is some great music. i dont even know how to describe it; features of radiohead stretched further along n-dimensional axes - a must listen. here's one video i enjoyed, just a sample from the multitude of sounds these guys can play (the lead guitarist often uses a cello bow on his electric guitar, dramatic effects)...

Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros (from the album Takk)


another song you should check out, and the song that got me hooked on sigur ros, is untitled 8 from the album (). this makes iceland 2/2 for musicians ive heard from the country and musicians i like (bjork)! perhaps more musical treasures are hidden on that far off island..
