New Sigur Rós



Sigur Rós is streaming their whole new album at their website, and you can also download the mp3 and watch the video for the amazing first single "Gobbledigook." Most of the album is what we've come to expect from the band, but "Gobbledigook" features acoustic strumming, a fast melody, and clocks in at under 3 minutes! This one especially and a couple more tracks have a very positive, upbeat feeling that I'm really enjoying. The video compliments the tribal good feelings of the song by showing naked youths frolicking in a forest. It is "inspired by and created in collaboration with" photographer Ryan McGinley, who apparently is currently boning the lead singer. Speaking of which, Vice recently published some cool early photographs by McGinley with little stories about their context.
