Sigur Rós

[Corey07]

I'm so excited, I;m getting the new SIgur Ros DVD soon, Question: does anyone who has downloaded Hvarf have the song Salka, what I find is every downloaded version contains a live version of Salka, but the real CD contains a studio performance is this true?

[lunar1126]

Edit: nevermind. :)

i was going to get heima yesterday but got swamped with shopping. i will though. i held off getting () for way too long but we learn from our mistakes lol. Will must be thrilled though, he's probably overplayed it to the point he needs to get another copy :tongue:

That is amazing!!! Where did you find it??

[Corey07]

I think its off of the sigur ros website under artwork and wallpaper

[thinker]

I got Heima for christmas.
It's perfect!

:smug:

[eglantine]

aww you lucky! :nice:

[Plug_in_coldplaying]

That is amazing!!! Where did you find it??

no idea really,its in my pictures folder under sigur ros

[Corey07]

I got heima too, wondering if anyone is confused with the DVD map, Disc 1 contains the actual movie with a lot of scenic shots correct?

And Disc 2 contains the same songs live, except for one or two extras, without all the scenic shots and more live shots correct? I can't find much difference between the two discs. I heard that some copies of heima have two disc 1's but my disc menu is different on each disc...

[twistedlogic]

Ohhh man, I picked up Hvarf/Heim yesterday and it's amazing! I'm worried that I'm going to over-listen to it way too quickly!

[eglantine]

awww! today was an amazing SR-related day! :nice:

We (a cheerleaders team) had a performance in a fancy shmancy hotel in the capital and when we came there, someone played Glosoli and Saeglopur out loud in the largest hall! :nice: it wasn't very loud, but sooo great! :nice:

[chillinrevev]

In my opinion the best music DVD ever released. Amazing, puts the songs in a great Icelandic context. This band know how to communicate pure emotion.:)

[Kite]

I love Takk...

[eglantine]

i don't really love it .. .( ) and AB are better IMO!

[StarsKay]

In my opinion the best music DVD ever released. Amazing, puts the songs in a great Icelandic context. This band know how to communicate pure emotion.:)

Agreed. Heima gives me goosebumps everynow and then, particularly when listening to Starálfur, which has stepped up as one of my favorite SR songs to date. Gong and Hoppípolla will always remain my top 2 favorites, followed by Glósóli which all just take my breath away. Can't wait if/when the band visit down under again!

[thinker]

wow. can't wait to see them again at the Øya festival in Norway this summer.

[janhaw]

New Sigur ros song. Very bad quality, though. I like the drums in the end. :)

No Salka and no Í Gaer- :\

BUT! I´m a bit concerned about this "All alright" song. Hm. I would be great if this track hasn´t got any lyrics. :thinking:

(no, I haven´t been in Ljubljana, but we´re planing to go in August or earlier. I can´t wait to see Ljubljanica river, bridges and your old town. :P )

[eglantine]

aww :(

I have the feeling that "All Alright" will have lyrics ... But let it stay a surprise, haha.

(Oh, too bad. When you come here, make sure you won't only see Ljubljana, but also other cities like Maribor, Ptuj and Piran. :P)

[fifi]

There will be some announcement tomorrow on their website!!! I can't wait to see what it is!! Completion of the album?? Date of release?? Touring??? AHHHHHHHH EXCITEMENT!!!

[lostsides]

Ahhh, new album! :dance:

wooooohhhhoooooo! :lol: :P:D

[janhaw]

So...

What do you think about Gobledigook?

I still dont know what to think. :S

HAhaha, something from sigur ros message board:

" I bet this is Alex's favorite song.

A gay Yoko Ono."

OR!

even better:

"Gobbledigook aka the cock slapping song."

:laugh3:

[Zemy101]

Haha, that album art is crazy! :stunned:

Ok looking for new song...

[janhaw]

Haha, that album art is crazy! :stunned:

[the_escapist]

haven't heard the song since I'm at my office - tonight will be Sigur Ros listening night then!!!

cheers!!!

I like the artwork!! very human

[Zemy101]

I downloaded it from their site, but thanks anyway :D

[bedofroses]

Interesting new song! not what i expected, sounds promising.

[Bombadil]

This was certainly an interesting new sound for Sigur Rós, the beat is quite intense, but the song isn't that bad actually. It might grow even more on me when I get it together with the rest of their songs.

The video was pretty crazy, I thought the album art was interesting, but this topped that by many miles.

[eglantine]

Martin, where did you see the video?

I like the song. It's totally different thank their previous ones. Some say it sounds like Animal Collective, but since I still haven't listened to that band I think Gobbledigook sounds similar to Architecture in Helsinki/Broken Social Scene. But ONLY small sequences. Don't jump on me now saying how much do I suck for thinking that or something :P

[Lore]

I like the new song.. it's so different :dance:

[Corey07]

This song isn't post rock, I'm sorry but I don't like it. It sounds like it would be a track off their Von album. I'll give it a few more listens before I really decide however

[Redundancy]

Hello guys! How's everyone? hope all is well..

As i see everyone knows about the new amazing single and album but i thought i should add to that so.. here you go, straight from my email account.

Sigur Rós will be releasing their new album worldwide the week of June 23. It is called Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust.

You can download the first track "Gobbledigook" and watch the video right now on SigurRos.com (http://www.sigurros.com/).

This is the official announcement sent out by the record labels today…


Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
(English spelling: Med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust)

Sigur Rós will be releasing their fifth album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (English translation: with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly), worldwide the week of June 23. The first track from the album, entitled "Gobbledigook," is available worldwide for free download via SigurRos.com (http://www.sigurros.com/). The video for the song is also on the website.

A pre-sale for the album will begin on SigurRos.com (http://www.sigurros.com/) on June 2. A special deluxe edition of the album to be released later in the year — featuring a "Making Of… " book, a film and more — will also be available to pre-order on the band's website as of June 2. A stream of Með suð í eyrum… will be available to hear on SigurRos.com (http://www.sigurros.com/) on June 9. Lastly, a plethora of Sigur Rós goodies — exclusive clips, information on tickets for upcoming shows throughout the year, etc. — will be available to those who sign up for the mailing list on SigurRos.com (http://www.sigurros.com/).

Með suð í eyrum… was co-produced with the band by renowned producer Flood, and was recorded in New York City (at Sear Sound Studios), London (at Assault and Battery Studios and Abbey Road), Reykjavík (at Álafoss, the band's studio, as well as a church in Reykjavík), and Havana, Cuba. Whereas Sigur Rós' last release — the critically-acclaimed documentary Heima, chronicling their free tour throughout Iceland — took the band to their homeland, their newest creation, Með suð í eyrum… is the first album in the band's career to be made outside of Iceland. It is also their first album to feature vocalist Jón "Jónsi" Thor Birgisson's vocals in English on one track (the remainder are sung in Icelandic).
Inspired by the unfettered feeling of the acoustic performances filmed during Heima, Sigur Rós decided to adopt a looser approach in the writing and creation of their brilliant fifth album. The material for the album was written, recorded and mixed entirely in 2008 and is being released just one month after its completion. The album glows with the perfect imperfection of live takes, the sounds of fingers playing guitar strings, cracked notes, and a stark, upfront presence not found in previous Sigur Rós recordings, moving away from reverb-soaked guitar sounds towards something altogether more affecting. The record also contains some of the most joyous music the band has ever recorded.

Opener "Gobbledigook" sets the tone for Með suð í eyrum… with its shifting acoustic guitars, playful vocals, time signature swings and swirling percussion, while "Inní mér syngur vitleysingur" ("Within me a lunatic sings") sparkles as one of the most anthemic songs Sigur Rós have ever written. "Festival" is epic in its elation and scope, "Illgresi" features one of Jónsi's finest vocal melodies over a lone acoustic guitar, and "Ára bátur" is the largest musical undertaking in the band's career, as it was recorded live in one take with the London Sinfonietta and London Oratory Boy's Choir, a total of 90 people playing at the same time. The band also utilized the talents of their string-quartet friends Amiina, as well as a five-piece brass section on certain tracks, in addition to introducing the Mellotron into their writing/recording process for the first time on this album, highlighted on one of the most tender and beautiful songs on the record, "Fljótavík."

The spirit of Með suð í eyrum… is best captured by the album's stunning artwork, contributed by acclaimed visual artist Ryan McGinley. McGinley first met the band when he photographed Jónsi six years ago; the album cover was taken from a flyer for McGinley's most recent exhibit, "I Know Where the Summer Goes," which happened to find its way into Jónsi's inbox just as the band was deciding on how to best visually represent their new collection of songs. The result is a perfect synergy of the aural and the visual.

The tracklisting for Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly</EM>) is…

1. Gobbledigook
2. Inní mér syngur vitleysingur
3. Góðan daginn
4. Við spilum endalaust
5. Festival
6. Með suð í eyrum
7. Ára bátur
8. Illgresi
9. Fljótavík
10. Straumnes
11. All Alright

Sigur Rós will be playing shows all over the globe throughout the summer and fall to preview material from Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, including a special set at this year's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. The tour dates are:

[thinker]

i like the the new song! it's very different..

[chillinrevev]

The song will take time to grow on me I think, very different. The video has grown already, very erotic and very nice.:rolleyes:

[Innocent_Joy]

Pookie!
Come to msn will you?
Do you have a link for the video as well? I want to show it to Gabi but my quicktime isn't working and youtube keeps removing the video..
I quite like the song but I'm not so sure how I feel about the video, it will probably never be played on tv anyways but still..
At least I'll get to see them live June 5th!

See you pookie..:kiss:

[Briggins]

will?

[janhaw]

Will!? :stunned:

[the_gloaming09]

It's sooo difficult to both say and remember.

[StarsKay]

yeah same here. it's a little longer than their previous albums and well, i have resulted in remembering the english translation ("with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly") which is so beautiful, it makes me want to remember it in Icelandic, but i just can't lol

[thinker]

i will very soon listen to it. can't wait.

[Marisa]

i will very soon listen to it. can't wait.


You're going to love it!!!!!!!!!


It's so different but so familiar at the same time. I MUST MUST MUST see them live on this tour. Right now I'm regretting not going to Bonnaroo!

[Marisa]

The ending of "Inni mer syngur vitleysingur" =:daisy:



And I have one small request. could someone translate the song titles for me please? I would appreciate it!

[fifi]

Ara bátar gives me goosebumps :heart:

[janhaw]

Ara bátar gives me goosebumps :heart:

I like that song very much.

Here are the lyrics and translation.
(taken from SR message board)

ára bátur lyrics

þú reyndir allt
já, þúsundfalt
upplifðir nóg
komin með nóg
en það varst þú sem allt
lést í hjarta mér
og það varst þú sem andann aftur
kveiktir inní mér

ég fór, þú fórst

þú rótar í
tilfinningum
í hrærivél
allt úti um allt
en það varst þú sem alltaf varst
til staðar fyrir mann
það varst þú sem aldrei dæmdir
sannur vinur manns

ég fór, þú fórst

(hopelandic line)

þú siglir á fljótum
yfir á gömlum ára
sem skítlekur
þú syndir að landi
ýtir frá öldugangi
ekkert vinnur á
þú flýtur á sjónum
sefur á yfirborði
ljós í þokunni

(hopelandic)

Translation:

you tried everything
yes a thousand times
experienced enough
been through enough
But you it was who
let everything into my heart
and you it was who once again
awoke my spirit

you stir up
emotions
in a blender
everything in disarray
but it was you who was always
there for me
it was you who never judged
my true friend

You sail on rivers
with an old oar ***
leaking badly
ou swim to shore
pushed the waves away
but to no avail
you float on the sea
sleep on the surface
light through the fog

(...)

to be continued...

Translated Song Titles:

# Gobbledigook · Gobbledigook
# Inní mér syngur vitleysingur = within me a lunatic sings
# góðan daginn = literally means "Good Day"
# við spilum endalaust = "We play endlessly"
# festival · festival
# suð í eyrum = "buzz in our ears" though "sud" literally translates into sound
# Ára bátur = Row boat
# Illgresi = Weeds
# fljótavík = a place in iceland
# straumnes = a mountain near fljotavik

I think those are all right ;)

[scruff]

it must be a new direction because this is the first Sigur Ros album I've liked all the way through.

theyve done the odd moment of genius before but their albums were always over rated in my opinion.

[janhaw]

Yes... :(

Oh, well, it´ll be on you tube tomorrow.

So no need to stay up.

Good luck with your exam! :P

[eglantine]

[Kite]

I see the person who did the review for the album in the news of the world missed the point of the band

[Shaftell]

Does anyone know where you can buy tickets for the North American tour?

I've been searching for tickets for the Vancouver show and I can't find them anywhere.

Any help please?

[Shaftell]

Oh, okay. So they haven't been released yet, right?

[janhaw]

I see the person who did the review for the album in the news of the world missed the point of the band

Why do you think so? :D


After 3 weeks of listening, I´m still not sure if I like the album or not. Something is missing, and I don´t know what. Maybe bowed guitar. Or longer songs with beautiful 3 minute intros...

IMO, the best songs on the album are Festival, Godan daginn, Međ suđ i eyrum, Fljotavik and Ara batur.

I want another album...

[StarsKay]

I'll be seeing them in just over a month! I'm so excited! :dance:

That setlist looked pretty great. I'm sure it'll be mindblowing and seeing them live will be some side of magic itself. After all this time, hearing others' accounts of their shows, watching Heima and wow, I still get chills sometimes hearing their tracks (old and new).

I would still love it if they played Gong or Glosoli though. Even Staralfur would be fantastic.

[Nash]

[Briggins]

I almost bought the album today......but I needed new headphones so I bought those instead.

[ricardo]

what songs do you recomend? (other than hopppipolla, svefn..., agaetis <or however you spell it> and gobbledigook)

[the_gloaming09]

I know what you mean in that I had to give it a lot of listens before it started coming into its own.

I swear I felt I'd heard Festival before though, there just seems something extremely familiar about this song, almost like it's a Part II of a previous track. Anyway, I've come to love Gobbledigook more than I anticipated :stunned: All Alright is...wow. It all makes me want to drift off into another dreamy land of some sort :nice:

[tams]

Their last album is just fantastic.
I'm having some problems rememering names of the songs and how to pronounce them :D
anyway the melody comes first and its mindblowing.
Well i might have a chance to see them live in Prague.

[strawberryfields]

Sigur Ros is amazing. :heart:

[Tnspieler1012]

Over the past few days I've really "discovered" Sigur Ros. For the past month I planned on eventually picking up a C.D. since their name kept appearing on this forum alongside esteemed bands like Radiohead, Coldplay and the Verve. I was a bit embarrassed that I knew nothing about this 'Sigur Ros" so after looking up them up online, I purchased "( )" yesterday. I'm embarrassed to say I haven't gotten 100% through the album yet (about 80%) since I fell asleep listening to it last night...but I really like what I'm hearing and it's atmospheric, avante-garde minimalist vibes are growing on me by the hour (particularly "Samskeyti" and "njosjavelin".

In perfect timing, the documentary "Heima" was on tonight. Needless to say, it gave me chills. Now that I'm becoming familiar with their other songs and albums I feel obligated to pick up their three other big albums. It's really been a thrill being introduced to this awesome new (new to me) band. Not since Coldplay have I been so excited to discover a band.

[silver.phoenix]

sigur ros playing in australia in less than 3 weeks. so excited! is anyone here going?

[Shaftell]

I'm loving the new album.

At first, I wasn't a fan but now I love almost every song!

I can't wait for them to come here in October.
The tickets sold out in two minutes!

[StarsKay]

^ I was relatively the same at first but I knew I'd have to give their new style a couple more plays through till the tracks start to develop into their own. Now, I love it :heart:

sigur ros playing in australia in less than 3 weeks. so excited! is anyone here going?

I'm seeing them in Melb, 1 August. Can't wait :D I'll meet Josh for the first time too, a fellow coldplayer. It'll be fantastic. I hear they'll play Hoppipola :)

By the way, I must mention Olsen Olsen. It is amazing. After all this time, it still gives me this magical feeling of floating across grassy plains of some sort with an Icelandic feel like that in Heima (basically takes me to some dreamland lol). I was thinking of it the other day, Sigur Ros' music is the kind that speaks entirely on its own. It needs no explaining, most of the fans have no idea what Jonsi is singing and yet we all feel how powerful it is. I don't know, I was having one of those reflecting-on-music moments. Anyway, I'm so excited to see them!

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

ok, i'm listening to the new album for the first time (even though i bought it weeks ago before i left america), and i'm not even all the way through and i had to come here and express my love for it. i've always appreciated sigur ros and loved a few songs, but i always secretly thought that jonsi's voice wastoo high for my liking and that kept me from being a rabid fan. but i think this album (i'm not even going to try to write it or say it) is what's making them "click" with me, just like other albums have for other bands. i'm completely obsessed with this. it's incredible, and i now have to go back and re-listen to everything else they've ever done, because i have a feeling it'll all sound so much more amazing to me now. goodness, this is incredible.

[polkahard]

Just grabbed a ticket to see them in October in Berkeley! I've loved their studio albums and I've just heard so much about their live show that I had to just go for it. But an outdoor show in the Bay Area of CA in October? Going to be chilly.

By the way, how amazing is Inni mer syngur vitleysingur? I think it might quite possibly one of the most joyous songs I've ever heard in my life. Oh, and does the beginning of Vio spilum endalaust remind anyone of Arcade Fire? It's another absolutely amazing song in its own right. And I think I might die when I hear Ara batur live. God, I could just keep going on...

[Shaftell]

I love that song. It used to be my favorite on the CD but now it's been replaced by Vio Spilum Endalaust. That song is just awesome :cool:

I've never been to a Sigur Ros concert. Are they amazing live?

[polkahard]

http://stereogum.com/archives/tour-dates/sigur-ros-announce-north-american-fall-tour_010540.html

Stereogum seems to think so! And I've heard SO many people rave about them.

Oh, and Chelsea, if you're going to go poking around in the Sigur Ros back catalog, definitely check out Hoppipolla (which I would rank among my favorite songs of all time) and Se Lest on Takk and Untitled 8 on ()...and well, everything really, but those all stick out in my brain as being particularly incredible.

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

Inní Mér Syngur Vitleysingur is my new favorite song ever. I can't get enough of it. I think I might have memorized the Icelandic already, which is pretty impressive for me after like two days :P

[Cold_Huntress]

They are great! :D I just watched the new Prince of Persia game trailer and they used one of their songs! :D

[Shaftell]

I can't wait for their concert! It's going to be amazing! :D

[crazyduckette]

I would have been seeing them this evening but I had to sell my Latitude ticket!!! :(

Worse will be tomorrow....
Interpol :bigcry:

[twistedCLOCKS]

has anyone uploaded their new album by any chance?

[strawberryfields]

Awesome! I might be seeing them in October in Berkeley as well. :D Actually, I saw Tom Petty at the same place two Octobers ago... on the 26th, I think, and it was quite warm that evening. Hopefully it'll be the same for Sigur Ros.

I love Inní Mér Syngur Vitleysingur so much. It's absolutely beautiful. :smug:

[talisman]

somehow i never managed to get into Sigur Ros, they just never worked for me...

but...

tonight, i decided to play their album "Agaetis Byrjun" and guess what? i'm lovin it

[strawberryfields]

I absolutely can't stop listening to this song:

http://homepage.mac.com/yorkieboy/music/SigurRos_HeimaJP.mp3

[Tnspieler1012]

Got my first sigur ros album ( ) almost a month ago. Choosing between it and takk, since I already had hoppipolla, I decided to purchase their latest..and I think it confirmed them as one of my top five favorite bands of all time. It's a lot more accessible, which is refreshing, but it's not short on chills (ara batur and all alright being some of the most outstanding examples).

I love sigur ros!

[thinker]

I think I first heard of Sigur Rós 8 years ago :)

[Texasluvsjonny]

If you live in the USA and have Sundance Channel, there is a great Sigur Ros film on this month. It's on right now in fact.

If you don't have the channel, sundance web site has a feature on them.
http://www.sundancechannel.com/spotlights/210324364

[footyfan10]

okay so i have their last three albums, but not their first two as they werent as highly recommended

personally i love their stuff a lot. its like out of this world really. although i must say i think that ( ) is a bit overrated. i like most of the songs, but i mean...its obviously repetitive, as is the point, but nevertheless, its only a great in my book :lol:

theyre great though. im glad i found out about them through this site and coldplays interest in them.

[StarsKay]

I see them tomorrow night, less that 24 hours in fact! :D:D:D

I can't bloody wait :dance: :dance: :dance:

I've been waiting to see them in such a long time and now, the time has come :nice:

Takk Sigur Ros :heart:

Enjoy the gig, we want the details! :-D

yeah same was with me, i mean Jonsi;s voice. At first listen i liked some songs at once, but sometimes was tired of his voice, but time after time i got used to it and now i'm enjoying almost all their songs, apparantly my family not :D everytime i play Sigur Ros my sis goes like: Not again!! :D

[StarsKay]

The missing names are for songs that I still can't place at the moment. If/when I figure it out, I'll add them to the list. None of those missing are from Takk, I know that much lol.



It was mind-blowing! It truly was! Each song just kept building and building up and wow, just an amazing performance by the band. Once again, Jonsi was spot on :D I love this setlist already, though had it included Gong and Starálfur, I'd be in heaven :nice: They played Hoppípolla which, wow, once the audience heart it starting, the crowd started cheering and applauding...then all fell silent and the band was full-blown center of attention with every single pair of eyes on them with little to no movement from the entire crowd.

I'm pretty sure it was during Fljótavík that the blue lights settled to the roof of the arena and small snowflake-like confetti fell slowly on a small part of the audience. It was magical as the blue lights hit the thousands of little pieces falling... Just watching it fall, and it seemed like they fell so slowly too, you really did have a sense of what the band was trying to say, like what mood they wanted to create... :nice:

During Gobbledigook huge bursts of confetti, larger this time and way more in-your-face start a couples times from each side to the standing audience in the pit area. It really just pumps you up - Aaaaaah, it was amazing! :dance: They also get everyone to clap and the energy in the entire place picks up, seriously, it's a sight to see!!!

I'm excited for the next lot of people who get to see them :) If you haven't bought your ticket or am still deciding on whether or not to go, GO, you won't regret it :D:D:D:D

[thinker]

sigur rose is one of the best band at this moment!!
highly, highly recomended!! they can make feeling you something diferent with their music.

[strawberryfields]

^Ahh! I REALLY want to go now. My mom won't let me go without someone else, though... and I don't know anyone around here who likes them. :(

[eglantine]

Yay, I finally have Untitled 9, yay! :nice:

Kathy - great setlist! It would only be better if Saeglópur was followed by Viđrar or vice versa, as it was in Vienna. :nice:

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. :heart:

[thinker]

WOAH!
So I played at the Øya festival in Oslo a few days ago. And so did Sigur Rós.
I met them backstage! They were so nice!
I gave them and Amina my EP on vinyl and told them how great their concert was.
Ah. What a night :smug:

[tams]

yeah, you'll definately not gonna forget it for a loooong time :)
And it's good to hear that they're nice and all, couse i'd be dissapointed if someone i'm fan of turned out to be a total arse :D boasting and snobby type, you know.

[polkahard]

How nuts is it that Sigur Ros play that Hoppipolla/Með Blóðnasir combo around the 6-8th songs on their setlist every night?

Bands would KILL for something like that to be their closer, let alone played right in the middle of the set. It's absolutely brilliant!

[Tnspieler1012]

Learning Illgresi on guitar and getting more and more impressed by Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust.

I'm putting together some of my original songs for a little album to give out to my family. They're all instrumental, but I'm considering maybe covering illgresi. I know it will be horrible, but could be a fun challenge trying to learn the lyrics.

[crestingwaves]

I bought "Takk" today. I only heard about Sigur Ros last night/this morning. Which of their albums is best to get that's closest to Coldplay style?
Also, are there significant differences in the sounds of each album??

[eglantine]

Sigur Rós aren't similar to Coldplay AT ALL. But still, it's a wonderful music. :nice:

But Takk is the poppiest album.

[Corey07]

Yes, definitely try Takk... great album to start with. Now can anyone explain what Untitled 9 is all about?

[Tnspieler1012]

I have their latest which is clearly a lot more accessible than ( ), is takk poppier than their latest?

[staring elf]

Now seriously, is there an Untitled 9?!

[thinker]

"Ágætis Byrjun" and "( )" are without a doubt my favourites.

[eglantine]

Yes, definitely try Takk... great album to start with. Now can anyone explain what Untitled 9 is all about?
Now seriously, is there an Untitled 9?!yeah, it was released on an CD + DVD (Sigur 1-Sigur 9 [CD & DVD] vaka - that's what's written on my folder) and it consists of 3 parts. Who wants it? :P

I have their latest which is clearly a lot more accessible than ( ), is takk poppier than their latest?Yeah ... I guess Takk is poppier.

[crestingwaves]

I have both Takk and ..hum in our ears.. so far i feel the newer one (with a hum in our ears..) is much more poppier/accessible. But its all really good dark room and candle music.

[staring elf]

yeah, it was released on an CD + DVD (Sigur 1-Sigur 9 [CD & DVD] vaka - that's what's written on my folder) and it consists of 3 parts. Who wants it? :P



Yes please? :)

[eglantine]

You'll get it in no time :D

[eglantine]

go to other links thread in multimedia, it's there! :)

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i bought the heima DVD last night and watched at at like 2AM...and it's just so amazing. i'm still really in the process of getting fully into sigur ros, and i still have a hard time really liking jonsi's voice in some songs (the super-high falsetto kind of bothers me, i have to say), but...christ, these guys are amazing. and i've always wanted to go to iceland for some unknown reason, but after watching heima, i feel like i need to buy the plane ticket NOW.

also, random question that has probably already been asked, but does anyone know/have the translated english lyrics to the song "heima"? i'm dying to know them.

[rouz7]

Sigur ros...hum...a part of me ! Amazing' songs!!!! In few days they have conquered me. I will see them at Paris in november...
Chris said about them they are probably the better group in the world !!

[tams]

Festival song is amazing live.
I bought their latest album, i had downloaded it before though :D

The only album i still kind of ignore is Von. I listened to it several times, but could not get into it...maybe i'll give it another shot :)

[Rad-Cold]

ok..

I

Love

Sigur

Ros..



i saw them live last week, and it was mindblowing! omg! i only heard the last song (untitled 8) but wow! My friends never heard of them, but one of my friends even started crying during the song.
I never liked them before..but now i do! :blush:

[RadioMad]

Picked up Takk on the cheap last week. Can't say I could really get into it if it wasn't for playing it when im playing Halo.

Something weird about using that in the background in a shooting game.

[eglantine]

Once me and my dad listened to AB while eating lunch. :stunned:

[crestingwaves]

I can't find their latest album!!! Gah! I bought it a fortnight ago. Then took it to my gf's place. Then left it there. Then thought I lost it. Found it again. Took it home. Can't find it again!!!

Where is it!!

I want to buy the Heima DVD. Is it good??

[strawberryfields]

^:stunned: Noooo! It's too brilliant to lose. Buy another. :P

I haven't seen the Heima DVD yet, but I've heard from three different reliable sources that it's absolutely incredible. I really can't wait to get it and see for myself.

[Corey07]

Heima is amazing, now theres a fourth source

[crestingwaves]

I'll find it.
I have so many albums, and yet no official place to put them. So they float around the house. Which is really annoying cos I don't trust my siblings with them - they always get scratched!!
My Parachutes, AROBTTH and X&Y are almost unplayable!!
I guard VLV with all my life.

[ricardo]

huh I got tired of gobbledigoook I'm gonna change it for saeglopur or untitled 8

[strawberryfields]

:heart:

[eglantine]

UKers, I need your help! Could someone upload those two special tracks they're going to sell/send/whatever in the UK? It's UK only, unfortunately. :(

NEW SINGLE - 'Inní mér syngur vitleysingur' (UK-only)
Next Monday sees the release of the first single to be taken from their highly acclaimed album ‘Med sud í eyrum vid spilum endalaust’. ‘Inní mér syngur vitleysingur’ will be available as a 2-track download and CD (UK only) via SigurRos.com (http://www.sigurros.com/), with the exclusive b-side ‘Heima’ featuring on both formats. The download will be offered as both tracks for the price of one.
If you haven’t already, check out the video on MySpace TV (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=41106580), it was was filmed at the Náttúra concert in Reykjavík in June. If you like it that much, why not show your support and head over to MTV2 (UK only) and vote for the video as part of the MySpace chart (http://www.mtv.co.uk/myspacechart).

GOBBLEDIGOOK COMPETITION ON YOUTUBE
Suppose Sigur Rós ask people from all around the world to do their own re-interpretations of a tune? And what better than 'Gobbledigook', the gibberish anthem itself?
So here we are: we're giving you all the backing track stripped of lead vocal and the lyrics in both (broken) English and Icelandic as an MP3 (download here) (http://dot.sigurros.com/media/gobbledigook-instr.mp3).
All we ask is that you supply your own rendition of this free-spirited branch of Sigur Ros's development. No holds barred. The only thing to fear is fear itself, etc, etc
PRIZE: There will be a signed copy of the Special Edition of Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust to the most gratifying entry - that's not necessarily the best, just the one the band like the most. Ok, do your worst....
Go to the Group page on YouTube for complete details: http://www.youtube.com/group/Gobbledigook

[Bernard]

Double post! Frick.

[ricardo]

'Inní mér syngur vitleysingur' is amazing!!!!!!!

[Nash]

november in spain!! :smug:

sala riviera is waiting me!

[strawberryfields]

Oh, I want to see them on October 3rd in Berkeley so badly. :disappointed:

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

Inní mér syngur vitleysingur is my favorite song off the new album! :dance:
and heima as a b-side? that's my OTHER favorite new thing they have! :nice:

i'm on such a sigur ros binge these days. i can't stop listening to takk...

[Liz26]

i've been on a sigur ros binge too! sadly for me, they're not coming anywhere near me this tour so far. SIGH...maybe they'll add more dates...HOPEFULLY!!!!!!

[Tnspieler1012]

me too! I've been obsessed with sven-g-englar and have spent a large portion of my free time coming with an effective setlist for a mix I wanna give my older brother who hasn't heard them before.

[sadace21]

I love Góðan daginn (track 3).
Beautiful song.

[ricardo]

the nothing song is not good.... it is fucking terrific!! My second fav from them

[tams]

agree about the third track. It's one of my favs from the last album. Beautiful song to wake up to or go to sleep :D

[Shaftell]

I can't wait!

I'll be seeing Sigur Ros for the first time on October 8th.

What are their concerts like?

[Tnspieler1012]

Can't say I've been to one but the resounding opinion seems to be that they're epic, I'd guess a half step below radiohead.

On another note though, what are your guys thoughts on their music videos?
All of their one's from takk era (glosoli, hoppipolla etc.) I think are just amazing but I can't stand the agaetis byrjun era ones...they're always nominated for for awards but I find them seriously overrated.

As for the latest album... I find the inni mer syngur vitleysyngur video pretty cool.

[eglantine]

I love Viđrar video :love:

[crestingwaves]

I was just listening to 'Andvari'. It's good, but it's ending was a bit drawn out, but I spose that's their style ey? Was still very peaceful.

I like the Heima DVD and the videoclip that has the drummer boy in it.

I haven't seen the inni mer syngur vitleysingur video yet, but saeglopur it's one of the best music videos I have seen

[strawberryfields]

I really want to see Sigur Ros live in Berkeley on October 3rd... there's no way I can get tickets, though. I might just get a ride to Berkeley and sit outside the Greek Theater. :P

[janhaw]

very nice presentation of "Takk..." :)

YouTube - Sigur Ros-Takk Documentary(2005) 1/3

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i ordered ( ) on amazon a few days ago because i can't find it in shops. i really can't wait for it to come.

also, i just found this live version of hoppipolla on youtube, and it completely made me shiver. it was almost like it was an entirely new song to me, for some reason:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNVVX-m-oSw

[Liz26]

I watched that Jools when it was on Rave in HD - it was amazing. Hoppipolla has always been one of my favs.

This set also has some good live performances. I particularly like Staralfur and this version is wonderful...

YouTube - Sigur Ros - Staralfur (Electric Proms)

What does everyone think of the gobbledigook video?

[Tnspieler1012]

I was concerned about it when I read about the nudity but it was actually directed very well and had some class to it (as much as you can get out of a batch of nudists).

Any guesses on the 3rd single? I'd say vid spilum endalaust is the best for radio-play. If radio doesn't factor in...either festival or ara batur.

Definitely Við spilum endalaust, it's a perfect "radio song".

[StarsKay]

I like the Heima DVD and the videoclip that has the drummer boy in it.

Glósóli has the drummer boy and kids etc; a lovely video that is truly wonderful to watch :nice:

I can't say I have a favorite video anymore as most if not all are purely amazing and keeps me captivated for the entire clip, my eyes are like :stunned: all thoughout lol! I adore their work. I reckon they are one of the few remaining bands out there that have music that truly speaks for itself (as in the listeners imagination can go unaided by videos etc), yet ironically it's lyrically cryptic and one can't understand what is being sung however we all seem to gain our own perfect interpretation of what it's saying :heart:



I can't wait!

I'll be seeing Sigur Ros for the first time on October 8th.

What are their concerts like?

I saw them 1st of August in Melbourne and they were everything I imagined and more :heart: They played a mixture of songs from past albums with some from Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust. I wrote a small review a couple pages back about the setlist as well as a few things they did :heart: To put it boldly - they were magical!!! Have a great time! :D

am I the only one who doesn't like ara batur? anyway festival would be awesome

[ricardo]

hey... what sigur ros song would you recommend for a baby?
thanks

[strawberryfields]

OMG! MY MOM IS LETTING ME GO TO THE CONCERT! OCTOBER 3rd! EEEEK!

I'm so excited. :stunned: :dance: :stunned:

hey... what sigur ros song would you recommend for a baby?
thanks

I'd say almost all of them... they're all very soothing and relaxing, I think. :smug:

[Nash]

hey... what sigur ros song would you recommend for a baby?
thanks

sigur ros - hoppipolla ;)

[Shaftell]

hey... what sigur ros song would you recommend for a baby?
thanks

Se Lest would be a good choice as well.

[Tnspieler1012]

^yeah a lot of things in takk... that emphasize glockenspiel's and what not. se lest would be nice. Actually Staralfur is another good one that just popped in my mind.

[Liz26]

Yeah, I was going to say Staralfur but so many songs would work for a baby or anyone to listen to while relaxing, etc. The songs are very calming. I wouldn't say they put you to sleep exactly, but they help me relax which helps me to fall asleep if I'm tired. I listen to them on the way to work too, because it calms me while I deal with idiots on the road and gets me in a good mood to put up with crap at work!

I also listen to them before I go to bed a lot to help me relax...works anywhere! hehe...

[deaths_friend]

just finished listening to Sigur Ros's brilliant performance at Splendour in the Grass 2008 which was recorded by an Australian radio station in early August in front of a huge crowd. the gig will be replayed this sunday at 5pm AEST. i'll have the links to the broadcast up some time this week otherwise you can just download my recording of the gig next week.

it wasnt the best concert i've heard this year but was nonetheless brilliant.

[ricardo]

thanks for the tips!! well yes, Se lest is a very good option and staralfur too.
btw can someone give me the link to the video of the new single ( it is inni mer syngalur<fuck spelling> right? )
(yes I bother a lot)

[strawberryfields]

IT WAS AMAZING!

:stunned: :stunned: :stunned:

:stunned: :stunned: :stunned:

:stunned: :stunned: :stunned:

It almost ties with the Coldplay concert in incredible-ness. :dance:

It was just so good. Wow. Honestly, it was quite possibly the second best night of my life... everything was utterly and completely perfect. It was actually just "pretty good" and not great, until Gobbledigook, which was so very amazing... especially since Jónsi told everyone to start clapping along, which made it incredibly intense and energetic. And then the encore was absolutely perfect; it started pouring rain just as they started playing around with the strobe lights. Just, eeek! It was so good!
