Earlier than the total album drops, now you can pay attention to 5 uncommon tracks from the vinyl and digital editions beneath. These are the unique B-sides from 2006’s Sæglópur EP — “Refur,” “Ó Friður,” and “Kafari” — alongside two never-before-released songs, “Melrakki” and “Elfur.”
Takk… was Sigur Rós’ main label debut and their industrial breakthrough, shifting over 200,000 copies throughout the first 12 months of its launch within the US. In an announcement, multi-instrumentalist Kjartan Sveinsson went so far as calling it their “blissful album.” Certain, songs like “Hoppípolla” are about “leaping in puddles,” and “Heysátan” tells the story of a “contented” farmer who’s “crushed [to death] by his personal bale.” However what actually makes Takk… so partaking and transcendent has much less to do with lyrics and themes and extra with the wealth of common sentiments it brings to the floor with absolute grace and care.
“It’s bizarre to suppose that some guys from Iceland who sing in Icelandic and a few nonsense language are in a position to play all around the world and have so many individuals need to come and see us,” added frontman Jónsi. “There are not any lyrics or tales for individuals to carry on to. It’s extra about pure feelings that folks expertise from the music.”
The European leg of the aforementioned orchestral tour is in full swing. Sigur Róswill contact down in North America starting in early November, with exhibits in San Diego, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Mexico Metropolis, amongst different locales.
