The music sounds very, very similar to some of the stuff by Pink Floyd*…only, err, Icelandic of course!

[*] – I wonder if that was an influence?

Great video. Interesting use of colours too.

I think Iceland has Awesome Police. Like, if you're not awesome, you get deported.

That looks amazing.

Sigur Ros is amazing. I still have yet to go to their concert though. It's supposed to be incredible. I think that will be one of my life goals: to go to a Sigur Ros concert.

These guys are prob one the best bands on the planet.

Saw them in NYC a few years back and once in Atlantic City, NJ sometime after.

Not only is Sigur Ros awesome – so is their opening band they bring to all their shows – Amina, an all female band that acts as Sigur Ros's "backing" band during the Sigur Ros set. They're set was pretty unreal as well.

I think both bands were in awe/appreciation of the love NYC gave them…but its so deserved…for both bands.

Here's a pretty cool youtube video of Amina – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfaEc2qEEws

ps. go to iceland when ya can…it's amazing. airwaves fest is a good time to go because the place is electrified by all the people coming into town for the music festival. great people, amazing country.

i'm working on finding out when the release date is. i have a friend who works at emi (they're distributing it in the states) who said she's working on finding out also.

and by the way, amiina is going on a us tour here really soon.

Sigur Ros certainly has a sound you don't here everyday – and that's in a good way – I can only take so much mainstream audio doodoo….
