Sigur Rós

[busybeeburns]

Anyone heard the new Sigur Ros album or am I being premature?

Are they any good... what are the first two records like cos I aint heard them :cry:

[Catherine]

i know absolutely nothing of their stuff and everybody keeps going on about them and i feel like a fool :oops: :roll: enlighten me please! :D

[carrie3078]

I recently got into Sigur Ros. They are beautiful.

I am going to see them live on the 12th and the new album should be in my mailbox in 2 or 3 days!

They are definately worth checking out. Very pretty, moving music.

[Katharina]

I listened to their new album at work today (record store... Coldplay was on, too :wink: ) and I must say it's really special and very relaxing! It's definitely worth listening.

[busybeeburns]

What are the first two albums called?

[Katharina]

One is called "Agaetis Byrjun" and the other one "Svefn-G-Englar" if I'm right. Strange titles anyway... :shock:

[Tracy]

Call me stupid....but is this band European???? and if so do they sing in a language other than english????!!!

[Katharina]

Yes, they are European and yes, they aren't singing in English! Don't ask me which language this is. Maybe they are from Iceland or some Skandinavian country... :?

[Tracy]

I have heard a lot of people saying that they like them on the official site. I will have to have a look out and see what I think? 8)

Thanks for the info, Katharina:D

[carrie3078]

Yes, they are European and yes, they aren't singing in English! Don't ask me which language this is. Maybe they are from Iceland or some Skandinavian country... :? yes, they are Icelandic. But I've heard the singer sings in Icelandic and Hopelandic. I guess that's just a language he made up. Whatever language, it's lovely!
:)

[Alfie]

They are very lovely. There's something magic in the Scandinavian music.

[Hicksy]

they are (^%&_£^^£& because &^%%( = %^*£" and %^£ great to %$£ today

id hate to never have owned a hamster :(

[Katharina]

Eh?? :shock:

[';']

aww i had a hamster and one of those other things i cant think of the name right now but yeah i had one....my neighbor had a ferret i always wanted one of those.....

[carrie3078]

so has anyone gotten this album? I love it! beautiful stuff, I tell you. :D

one thing though, I am trying to figure out if the singer is singing similar words on nearly every song. they sound alike.

[Hicksy]

Sigur Ros are fantastic, anyone who doesnt know them go get educated! :D

[';']

i first heard about them on mtv.....i never took the chance to listen to them so i dl some of there stuff to listen to later.
i saw that video vidrar vel til loftrarasa i think that's what it is or maybe just vidrar vel

[Professor Peedston]

they are icelandic.

their first two albums are Agaetis Byrjun (with some weird characters i don't know how to do) and Von.

[Professor Peedston]

and i should mention that all three are FANTASTIC! :D

[dave's girl]

can't pick a favourite that i should listen to first then? :? i don't know anything by them :roll:

[carrie3078]

maybe try agaetis byrjun first...it's amazing.

I don't know about von, cause I don't have it. :( :)

[dave's girl]

thankyou :)

[';']

ooh more great ones to go check out....i dl a lot from them i just dont know which ones to listen to first.

[adrenn11]

Hey, sigur ros are fantastic.
They have also released a soundtrack album for the film' angel of my heart'
The language jonssi (singer) sings in is the noise he makes when he first thinks up a melody. As he believes this is the purest form of his music this is the way it stays for the album.
You may notice the frequency of the 'words' (sic) eel sa da lo, on the album. The above explains why this is the case.
Von is very hard to find, ie only on import cos they weren't signed to a major label then and still can't get the distribution.
Bye, andrew

[busybeeburns]

I got () and listened to it quite a lot recently... I lay in bed last night and it was mega relaxing :)

[dyermaker89]

sigur ros is :shock: and :-D and :cry: and :o live...it was seriously one of the most amazing live music expierences ever! (they're up there with coldplay if not tied to their performance) the raw emotion and intensity it's just almost too much to handle...so beautiful!!

( ) is a great album to play soft and drift off to sleep listening too.

[busybeeburns]

I agree... I didn't even know they had three albums out - I've only got () Agaetis Byrjun, so I'll have to see if they have the first... what does it look like? :oops:

[theshat]

dont wish to sound rude but they are far beyond the reaches of coldplay

hahah yeah i didn't want to say it being that this is a coldplay board *ahem*

but as far as other cd's they have.... there's von and von brigði (recycle bin) their former record label owns the rights to those i'm pretty sure so you have to order it through them ... http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk has more info

[God]

they sound amazing! does anyone know any sites where i can listen to their music?

[Sigur Rós]

They are an amazing band...i have the last two albums...don't have Von or it's remix cos they are only available in Iceland or from the Icelandic record company. The live material is even better, good stuff to get into.

[Sigur Rós]

for sites which have media

www.potemkin.cc/sigur - live in vienna 02
www.sigur-ros.com - just general stuff off ()
www.sigur-ros.co.uk - lots of different stuff culled form live shows etc...
213.220.78.118. - the ftp site


they are far more emotional/powerful than Coldplay...but Coldplay are still a good band. Sigur Rós live are unstoppable and unfathomable...I love them. I saw them in dublin and was just awed...everything is so much better with the visual fulfilment...


now...night-night

[God]

hello and welcome sigur ros! thankyou for those sites!! :D i've listened to some of their stuff and indeed they are very good, like nothing iv'e ever heard before. i'm gonna keep my eyes open for their cd's

[God]

hey, i bought () yesterday, its beautiful

[busybeeburns]

I agree, I do love track 3 with the piano going on for ages :)

[God]

yes thats my fave too! i love track 1 and 2 alot too though.

[busybeeburns]

I might start listening to the other album a bit more today :)

[';']

I agree, I do love track 3 with the piano going on for ages :)it seems like most of their songs go on for ages :P
i'm starting to like this band a lot more now :D

*COUGH COUGH* :o

[Blue eyes]

Only heard the first one and it's simply magic !!!! So beautiful and thought i couldn't hear something from this quality !

[Hicksy]

i love Sigur Ros - although i do find them a bit boring live :sad:

[';']

i've never seen them live :shrug: :D

[carrie3078]

Boring live? Not in my opinion. I was near tears for most of the show. Ok, well I actually did have tears for a bit. Beautiful music, great lights=amazing live show. :)

[Hicksy]

i saw them supporting Radiohead when they had only just released their first album and i have to say they did kinda send me to sleep :|

[';']

i just found out they'll be here in march. i was thinking of seeing them. not really sure though

[Miss Trouble]

Hello! I'm new and I was just wondering if there were any Coldplay fans out there who like Sigur Ros as well?

[Sweet One]

I like some of their songs but i don't have any of their albums...my brother does...

Welcome Miss Trouble! I'm Laura! :)

[carrie3078]

I love Sigur Ros! I just bought their hard to find first album Von....*waits patiently*

They are on Last Call w/ Carson tonight-be sure to watch! :D

[';']

ah thanks for reminding me!! :D

[carrie3078]

:D you're welcome! Sarah asked me to remind her, too. Maybe I'll post in my lj...

[Miss Trouble]

Yeah, they are absolutely life changing. I sound so cliche saying that but its true. I saw them in concert for the first time this week and they took me to a place I really didn't know existed.

Thanks for the Carson Daly reminder. I've been waiting all week to see it. I know they are going to play the first song on their new album (), entitled Vaka.

Thanks for the welcome!:) You guys have a great board!

[Hicksy]

Sigur are indeed amazing - I first saw them in Newport Wales, supporting Radiohead and they seemed stifled life (more like shit scared by opening for Radiohead i thingk), but i think their albums are awesome - kinda like the ideal soundtrack to the most important images in life - they are extremely talented :)

[Dandy Andy]

so, anyone watch last call??
wasnt it really funny (or at least i thought it was) that nobody applauded when they were done. it took at least 15-30 secs till the realized they were finished :D

[';']

i missed it :cry:

[leander]

Hello! I'm new and I was just wondering if there were any Coldplay fans out there who like Sigur Ros as well?

I love Sigur Ros so much that I'm gonna my first child "Oh Hlither Nee", hehe. That's how I transliterate one of his lovely cooings... I think I may have said this before, but no one's listening anyway: "Sigur Ros is what my insides sound like..." I love anyone of you out there who's cried hot steamy tears to their new album, ()...

[naca]

i never thought that i would like their kind of music but now i find that once i start listening to one of their songs i just cant stop :)

[carrie3078]

kinda like the ideal soundtrack to the most important images in life - they are extremely talented :) that's a great way of putting it! :)

[street spirit]

I love Sigur Rós. especially live because you are in a different world when you see one of their liveshows. great.

[God]

sigur ros are amazing. i listen to them every night before going to sleep.

[Hicksy]

:D

*cuddle*

[teresa]

i think sigur ros' music is boring and it has no special interest! lol my friends would kill me if they saw this....

[arnarfr]

i came from iceland and sigur rós to :D .... they are very cool ... :-D

[mikita]

I think Sigur Ros are AMAZING. But I have to be in the right mood to be able to listen to them.

[PaRaDoCX]

Hi ya.. moi is new here. However, I've always given this place a look-c... just haven't posted, but that shall change! hehe :)

Anywho, I HEART COLDPLAY... and I just want to add... me also likey SIGUR ROS... I too also listen to em before I go to bedders.

I heard a journalist call em... THE bastard offspring of ENYA and RADIOHEAD.. hehe.. that made me laugh, but I also think their brillant.

But COLDPLAY is where th heart is. :)

[Corner Kid]

Sigur Ros! I was going to start this thread, lol...

They're absolutely incredible... i saw them live in March with a string quartet... it was amazing... They closed with my favorite song "Track 8."

( ) - is currently my favorite album. I'm normally a mellow person, but mellowing out to this album is pure ecstacy.

I listen to them with my huge headphones laying in bed, staring up at the ceiling. Its bliss...

I sometimes listen to them on the road, but thats dangerous, because I end up not paying attention to my driving...

Listening to them is not just something i can do easily, I have to prepare for it. No background noises. No interruptions. Just me and the music. Thats the only way I'll have it. No other band does that for me.

how do you listen to Sigur Ros?

[PaRaDoCX]

Well, their songs have that feel to them that just leave me to feel breathless almost, like "overwhelming majesty and despair," as I heard someone call it.

I usually listen to them before I go to sleep because it's very calming to me and their music simply touch my soul - breathtaking!

[The Advocate]

Sigur Ros is amazing. Haven't bought their albums yet, but it's on my list of many other albums. I'm broke... where will I find the money to buy all the shit I want?

[sarah**]

I heart them so much. I'm listening to () now :)

[Hicksy]

:)

me too

*hugs* :D

[sarah**]

awww Si it looks like we are the only two that appreciate them :shock:

[Hicksy]

oh well :shrug:

they will learn one day :lol:

*sits down in a room with Sarah listening to ()*

:)

[Sierra Kay]

I like them. They are wonderful

[Hicksy]

come join us then :) :D

[Sierra Kay]

I suppose I shall then :)

[Hicksy]

yay! :D

*mellows* :)

[Sierra Kay]

*joins in the mellowing*

[sarah**]

I got some sort of two disc single from them. It was one CD that had four songs on it and one DVD of all of their videos. It's funny because I was in the store and I found this case and I'd never seen it before and it said Sigur Rós but it didn't have anything else written on it and it was onlu $9.99 so I bought it :)

[Sierra Kay]

I love their videos. They're amazing.

[sarah**]

If you go to www.sigurros.com they have the lyrics for the songs on () It's neat, I recommend checking out their site.

[DrPolitik]

Sigur Ros are an amazing band, beautiful sound..see 'em live!

[benni]

just close your eyes and listen to them........beautiful!

i like svefn-g-englar and Flugufrelsarinn (funny names :lol: ) very much

[JessLovesColdplay]

*joins in the Sigur Ros lovin'*

Yes, yes. They are great. Perfect for mellowing out or as backround music while studying. :)

[sarah**]

Jess I was so upset Coldplay didn't win an MMVA and we didn't get to see your acceptance speech :(

[JessLovesColdplay]

Jess I was so upset Coldplay didn't win an MMVA and we didn't get to see your acceptance speech :(

Me too. :cry: But I knew something was up once I saw the people who won that had pre-taped their speech had their trophies with them. ie) The White Stripes, Eminem

[badlydrawngirl]

wow! Sigur Ros = amazing :) *mellows too* :D

[sarah**]

Jess I was so upset Coldplay didn't win an MMVA and we didn't get to see your acceptance speech :(

Me too. :cry: But I knew something was up once I saw the people who won that had pre-taped their speech had their trophies with them. ie) The White Stripes, Eminem

Yeah I was thinking that because I remember from past years when the winners who aren't there actually have awards but when you were there they didn't give them any award. Oh well, to be honest it didn't totally surprise me they didn't win. Good Charlotte has many more devoted 13 year old fans who will vote non-stop online and on the phone :roll:

[About A Girl]

yeah SR rock!! my avatar is jonsi, oh so sexy, even though he's gay :shrug: :roll:

[Corner Kid]

best show I've seen... incredible band... definitely one of my favorites... ( ) is like a really good orgasm, such great builds...

[sarah**]

which is better () or agaetis byrjun (sp?)

[Corner Kid]

( ) IMO

[Dandy Andy]

why is it that you can be pegged as a snob for liking sigur ros?

[Corner Kid]

really? I've never heard that. I dont know many people who like Sigur Ros, especially in the U.S...

[DrPolitik]

why is it that you can be pegged as a snob for liking sigur ros?

*yoink*
(u cant keep a good thread down)

because Sigur Ros fans are more intellectually and emotionally evolved than the average philistine whose world revolves around their day to day beavis & butthead dialogue mantras and vacuous soulsucking nihilism....we are of a higher species and their songs call to us, like banshees in the night and lift us to a higher spiritual plateau...

:stunned:



:cool: :lol:

[badlydrawngirl]

:lol: Sigur Ros are great :cool:

[Dandy Andy]

'like banshees in the night'
DAMN RIGHT

hahha

and there are loads of people in the states that like em..

[badlydrawngirl]

^I LOVE that avatar! Such a cool video

[DrPolitik]

Dandy Andy's avatar is the coolest damn thing i've seen lately :D

[badlydrawngirl]

[Dissolved Girl]

Yes!! #3's piano is very cool and very beautiful. :D

[badlydrawngirl]

the songs are really long, but funnily enough they don't feel long to me. Thats weird I think. anyway :rolleyes: :lol:

[DrPolitik]

the songs are really long, but funnily enough they don't feel long to me. Thats weird I think. anyway :rolleyes: :lol:

yeah! thats true...() is 71 minutes long, only 8 tracks!! they just seem to float along, though..it's seamless and timeless, i never tire of it :)

[badlydrawngirl]

so true :D

[DrPolitik]

I wish CP would cover some SR, that'd be amazing

[badlydrawngirl]

wow! It WOULD! Because they're both great, and Coldplay would add their own dimension of sorts to the song. hold on, they DID cover a Sigur Ros song didnt they? :huh: I'm all confused now :lol:

[Dissolved Girl]

I think I remeber reading that they covered Svefn g englar. I could be wrong though.

[DrPolitik]

I think I remeber reading that they covered Svefn g englar. I could be wrong though.

i was thinking this right after i posted..i havent heard it though

Sigur Ros - great stuff! Here's a true story: George (my son) told Rich Martin to tell his brother to try out Sigur Ros because they were right up his street. Rich came back and told George that his brother had started listening to them and really liked them, and all because of George's suggestion (bright child!)

So if Chris Martin likes them, they MUST be good lol!

i'm beginning to take to my "silly goose" moniker :kiss:
:lol:

you know i'm right about the SR/CP thing though...are they is it in fact the same music all along and these so called "musicians" that perform on stages are merely just patsys for an international conspiracy of a 1 world order of music aimed at subverting the minds of fans everywhere??? :stunned: ..and if so where do i sign up? :dozey:

I saw this getting down the forum list and it made me sad.

So I... *bumped* it up.

[DrPolitik]

yes, and it's a bit off topic now, but Sigur Ros does that to a person! :lol:
i wonder if next album they'll tell us the other previous albums were just to please the label and now they're gonna rawk like a scandenavian death metal outfit :stunned:

yep ;) Rumour has it the 1st song on the next album leads in with Viking boat drums, the screams of a 1000 babies and then SR launch into a full on metal version of Dont Fear the Reaper

[Dissolved Girl]

ooooo... that will be interesting to listen to. :lol:

[DrPolitik]

2nd tracks better though, they pull out classic Ozzy and do When the Lightening Strikes again :stunned:

WOW!! Thats definite coolness. :cool:

its better than cool, they rip into a revisionist Highway to Hell w/ harpsicord and mandelin solo's too! Why is no one else talking about their hotly anticipated covers CD I wonder?

[Dissolved Girl]

I know! Its just going to be so amazing!!

[DrPolitik]

its a giant leap forward in respectablility if you ask me, this nursery rhyme bullshit just isnt MTV friendly

[Dissolved Girl]

yeah really :rolleyes:

They needed to do something a little more "main-stream."

[DrPolitik]

i read on their website that they're going on tour with either Limp Biscuit, Deftones or Marilyn Manson, or possibly even yet another ACDC reunion tour, though they may be billing under an assumed name & possibly doing a tour of underground goth clubs in Europe, you know how they like to keep their fans guessing.

[Dissolved Girl]

oooo... that will be one kick-ass tour!

I always thought that Sigur Ros and Marilyn Manson would make a good combo.
I mean... I love Sigur Ros and everything... but I just never thought they were fulfilling their full potential before.
BUT NOW.. with this cover album and touring w/ the likes of Marilyn Manson and Limp Bisket... Sigur Ros is definitly on a winning track. ;)

[DrPolitik]

i hear it's gonna be a multicorporate sponsered (nike, mcrsft, mcDonalds) even w/ poss of Korn signing on too, it's gonna be called the Bowling for the Alien Fetus Tour Allegience (BAFTA) and is hitting all the major cities plus a few remote venues..i heard something about a farm somewhere, an indian reservation, and even a glacier. Manson's co-headlining w/ SR, they're gonna do a stripped down version of Disposable Teens, and MM in turn is covering 3,4,5 off of () It's gonna be the gig of our times. Our Woodstock.

[Dissolved Girl]

oooo... if it takes place on an Indian Reservation... there's some definite good ones here in the U.S.

Man this so exciting... I can already tell its gonna be the best day of my life when they roll into town.

And NOW w/ the possibility of Korn there too!!! Ohhhh... I just... I'm speechless... I think I'm gonna cry.

I'm just so glad that I heard about this! Now... I have a life ambition! To see this tour!

Move over Coldplay... I think I got a new favorite band!

[DrPolitik]

CP will be a thing of a past when this beast rolls into town, move over RH too. This tour's gonna dominate the airwaves and MTV.

[Dissolved Girl]

yeah... with Sigur Ros reinventing themselves themselves as scandenavian death metal... they're becoming close to being the best thing since sliced bread.

[athy]

i just bought their cd..but i can't listen to it till i'm at home :(

[DrPolitik]

song 1 on () sounds like elf sex

[Dissolved Girl]

really? I thought it sounded like sexy elves. not elf sex.

[DrPolitik]

yes sex elv

ooh anagram.. woOO!

[DrPolitik]

yes sex elv

ooh anagram.. woOO!

i think this is how they come up w/ lyrics

that

and helium induced orgies w/ gnomes

[Dissolved Girl]

oooo...
I always felt that they were strongly influenced by smurfs.

[DrPolitik]

the smurfs just like to watch, they're anatomically inferior to gnomes & elves..
pixies on the other hand are horny bastards...they'll jump on anything..which explains most of ()

[Dissolved Girl]

Ahhh... So... do the pixies jump on the smurfs while they watch? Or did the pixies decide that smurfs were too inferior to jump on?

I only ask because you're all-knowing wisdom and knowledge of Sigur Ros astounds me.

[DrPolitik]

no, there's no contact between them, the smurfs are in cages, chained to poles, they seem to like it...most are masochists, which is actually what song 8 on () is about..the video is out soon, SR are gonna clear up the long asked smurf question in it...i expect MTV heavy rotation & multiple awards. It's quite a progressive piece.

[Dissolved Girl]

But the poor smurfs... chained in cages... they make like it but they don't know what's good for them.

I'm gonna start an activist group, and save the smurfs! :angry:

And Sigur Ros is going to be the first to hear about it! :angry:
Explotation of smurfs is not cool.

[Victoria]

Momentarily off-topic, I'd just like to say there are some really cool avatars coming through here. :) :cool:

[DrPolitik]

I didn't know we were "on" topic? :lol:
but yes, groovy avatars all around! :cool:

[Dissolved Girl]

:D

[DrPolitik]

:sneaky:

aaaaaaah the return of a classic mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

we'll put on () when we...........weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :wink3:

[badlydrawngirl]

woah, where's this thread been? :D

[DrPolitik]

exacty! it's been gone faaaaaaaaaar too long! :D

[badlydrawngirl]

nicely emphasised by the spelling of 'faaaaaaar'. :P

[DrPolitik]

;)

so what's new in Sigurland?? I think they need to reconsider their approach and team up w/ the Electric 6! :dozey:

in fact all bands need too!!! :D

[Dissolved Girl]

Brillant idea Doc. ;)

[DrPolitik]

:kiss:

[Dissolved Girl]

:blush:

he he he :cheesy:

[DrPolitik]

:heart: *sigurmoans* :cool:

[Dissolved Girl]

mmmmmmmmmm :kiss:

[Dissolved Girl]

YES... I think Electric 6 and Sigur Ros could make a good team... of course after Sigur Ros' new album of Death Metal comes out... and of course after their tour with Marilyn Manson and Limp Bisket.

Yes they will make an award-winning team :smug:

[DrPolitik]

oh yeah baby thats right icelandic death rawwwwk :D

[Dissolved Girl]

;) ;)

[The Noteburg]

They are unbelievable great... I've got 3 albums of them and they sound so fantastic.

[Jacob]

Svefn-G-Englar lyrics in english!

I’m Here Again
Inside You
It’s So Good Staying Here
But I Stay A Short While
I Float Around In Underwater Hibernation
In A Hotel Connected To The Electricity Board And Nourishing
Tyoowoohoo
But The Wait Makes Me Uneasy – I Kick The Fragility Away
And Shout – I Have To Go - Help
Tyoowoohoo
I Explode Out And The Peace Is Gone
Bathed In New Light
I Cry And I Cry - Disconnected
A Ruined Brain Put On Breasts
And Fed By Sleepwalkers

[Sierra Kay]

mmhmm. they are good. I really love their videos, too.

[Sweet One]

I've started listening to them more and more. They're excellent.

[kalter zug]

Whoa thx for that man! :cool:

[Professor Peedston]

You thought nobody would reply?! :stunned:

They're awesome! Anybody heard the "Ba ba ti ki di do" EP from Merce Cunningham's "Split Sides" thingy? It's.... not so awesome. :dozey:

[staring elf]

Youre silly, Ren :P You know we all love sigur ros. :blush:

^ Yeah Ive heard 'Ba ba..', and i think its good :rolleyes: :blush:

Ok, lets get back to the topic

I never heard of them til I joined this board. People do mention them every now and then, but I seriously think they are underrated. Everything about their music is just so simple and beautiful. And yeah, their music kinda makes me cry too, jonsi has a really beautiful voice. Both Agaetis Bryjun and ( ) are superb. Sadly I haven’t heard every song on their 1st album Von yet. Anyway, heres the links for the ‘frakkur’video (Jonsi made it) and audio:

Ok, im done!! :lol: :blush:

[Professor Peedston]

I've seen them live twice, and cried both times during the very first song (and it was the same song both times). :embarrased:

I've only ever cried at a concert one other time.

[Alessa]

I like Sugur Rós as well. :)
my fav. song is "3 "
i get happy every time i think about how good bands there are in the whole world! :D

[Joyce]
