Ethereal Icelanders October 21, 2007
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Miscellany , trackbackI was astounded when a friend paid £225 for tickets to see the UK premier of Sigur Ros’ new documentary at Cecil House this week. There is a short gig as well, but it’s a ridiculous amount for a FILM! I’d never even heard of them, embarrassing to admit.
For rather less than that, I bought their 2002 album () to see what all the fuss was about, and am definitely impressed. Not £225 impressed, but I’d happily pay the original ticket price. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard anything like it - ethereal, haunting, evocative of wide open spaces disappearing into eerie twilight. Perhaps a little Enya, something of the Cocteau Twins, maybe some Eno. No, I’m making that up. Listen for yourself.
