The Niemster: Sigur Ros

August 4, 2005

Sigur Ros - Takk

The Icelandic super group is back with a new album titled Takk. They went all out coming up with something better than (). The atmospheric sound is as great as it ever was and the Hopelandic lyrics are unintelligible as ever. They will be touring the US in September hitting the usual cities of New York, LA, Chicago, and Durham (huh?).

Takk isn't in Hopelandic. It's in Icelandic. And they become clear if you listen close enough, long enough. That said, I haven't been able to figure them out completely yet. I did a full Takk track by track review if anyone wants to see it. It's at http://www.grapevine.is/?show=article&id=646&issue=

rownie.

listen to:

tom waits
plastikman
the a-frames
richard devine
jega
rasputina
faust

i'm sorry, but as good as it might be, sigur rÃÂ³s is -not- "the first band in a long time that Willing to do something completely diffrent and experiment with the music". none of these are favorite artists of mine (well, the a-frames are close to my heart), but they definitely push the boundaries.

I accidentally ran into this website, and I just had to correct the the thing that Bart said. I'm actually from Iceland, and Sigur RÃÂ³s is my favourite band. I love their new album, and I'm telling you guys, some of it is in Icelandic, and some is in Hopelandic!

Actually Bart, some of the tracks are indeed in hopelandic (gong for example).
