If you've never heard of Sigur Rós or Jónsi, it is ok. But just take a few minutes and watch these clips and also do yourself a favor and look up both of these groups on Youtube (Sigur Rós & Jónsi). Jónsi is the main guy behind Sigur Rós and he recently did a solo album. The album is much different than the average Sigur Rós album. He sings in falsetto often. Sigur Rós often has layers of musical textures and the songs can be rather long. It is easy for me to get lost in the music. I like his voice, and I know a few people that don't. To each their own.
Enjoy.

Very cool! A little record store concert? Does he regularly have the extra 'body percussion' rhythmic support?
ReplyDelete@Mark Powers as far as I know... this is the first he has done a solo album and the first he has done anything like this of any sort. Check out Pitchfork's site (click here) for the full article on this. He actually didn't finish the tour due to "comfortability". I think he is too use to playing on a big stage and not having the audience that close.
