I saw that on MTV last fall.

It reminds me of the good ole days.

Thanks for sharing that....it was very nice. I like the cinematography and the landscape (is that Iceland) is just breathtaking....

It's very (for me) quistessentially Sigur Ros...at least what I get from this video or when I listen to them...they evoke feelings of nostalgia...that innocence/beauty we all had/have in ourselves which is more prominent in childhood...the only other video of theirs I've seen also featured children....I think it was from ().

..is that on purpose I wonder?

I haven't really kept up with their stuff for the past couple of years...Mum replaced them as favorite Icelandic band....now THAT is an amazing band...

múm is another favorite of mine.

I think this video is really interesting in many senses, one of those being that that you've already mentioned. Innocence/Beauty.
Have you seen the Hoppipolla video? It's really interesting also, it's about some old people acting like children, again.. back to the innocence, but this time with a nice twist.

Back to this video, what makes me feel weird is all the beauty featured throughout the video, just to have a tragic ending (suprise). it leaves me with this weird mixture of nice/sad feelings.

so Ive been seeing these guys mentioned a bit around here lately and Im pretty sure I saw their new album in the shops too..... What are they like? (I can't watch the vid coz Im at work)

worldwide_suicide · August 10th, 2006, 10:27 PM

^wow, that's a hard question...

I can't even compare them to any other band because these guys have a very distinctive sound that sets them apart from the rest.

It's calmed down, mellodic, sad (yet happy) music... with some nice strings arrangements. The lyrics are sung in Icelandic and Hopelandic (this language doesn't even exist, it was made up by Jonsi, the singer), but even when you have no idea what he's trying to say, you'll get as much feeling as if you were hearing real moving lyrics.

My suggestion: quit your job, tell your boss to fuck off and shove the work up his ass, go to the nearest record store and buy Agaetis Byrjus, ( ) and Takk NOW!!! you won't regret it.

Not bashing or anything, but most of their stuff is nothing with music occasionally played in the bits between the nothing, kinda gets a bit boring no?
