Óveður, the name of it, it's out along with a videoclip. What do you guys think?

The video is pretty trippy and Sigur Ros have never sounded so depressing.

I agree, it's awesome to see one of my fav groups changing for good their style. I feel a more industrial vibe to it. Let's hope an album get announced soon
Horrid.
>>65878955
If Sigur Ros turned industrial I'd explode. Good to see that sound wasn't just a one time thing in Kveikur.

Either explain why or don't bother posting.

Anyone saw the Route 1 livestream? Comfy shit, comfy country.
>>65879442
It was fucking awesome! Would love to get music from that
>>65878292
it's shit

Not sure about their new work, but man, they are just something else. Singing in a made up language, playing a guitar with a bow... I love it when someone like them comes along.

Who started the "singing in a made up language" meme?

You sound like such an embarrassing adolescent, fucking hell
>>65881876
Would you have not bothered to post that if he'd just said bleak?
>>65881850
I don't know. Which language it is they are singing in then?
>>65881952

Well, not all the time.

what was it?
>>65881850
not a meme, ( ) is sung in a made up language, they called it hopelandic
>>65878300
What does it MEAN?
>>65881978
I've always been pronouncing it SIGG-er ross but I actually don't know if that's correct.
I've never been big on Sigur Ros, but this is the best thing I've heard from them.
A lot of their atmospheric stuff, while very beautiful, just falls in the background for me, but this more industrial feel really kept me engaged

from their site:
>sigur rós si-ur rose (the i is like the i in "hit". "rose" is said very quickly)
>>65878955
Wasn't Kveikur also supposed to be the "dark" Sigur Ros, inspired by Swans and GYBE already?
Wasn't crazy about that weird snare sound but I like their louder material.
>>65878292
I fucking love this song and the direction Sigur Ros is going. Since this is the single I am expecting there to be some strange electronic ambience on the deeper tracks, maybe some OPN influence.
I love when the music changes and the snare hits, the strings in the background sound like they are off key or out of tune, which is really dark and adds a layer that Sigur Ros hasn't has in the past. Things don't seem as straight forward as their last few releases, which in my opinion is a good thing.
I love and was very confused by the music video. This is the darkest SR has gone. I have been searching for an english translation to these lyrics to get some kind of reference to the strangeness but can't find anything. If anyone finds them please post.
Once I saw the tour video they released a few months ago and read everything about the electronic direction they were supposedly going in I got excited. I am hoping for this to be Sigur Roses "Amnesiac". Dark, more experimental, strange (relative to their other works of course), more electronic elements, and comes together as a whole like in my favorite RH album.
>>65882569
Their 2013 album is quite industrial too, give that a listen
>>65882767
Idk, It seemed "dark" on the surface but had pretty straight forward melodies and song structure that were repetitive with no free flowing tempo.
>>65882569
I'm probably always going to prefer Ágætis Byrjun, but that's just me.
