Amazon.com: Ágætis Byrjun: Music: Sigur Rós (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | Reykjavík-based noise quartet Sigur Rós are the biggest band in their native Iceland, which should say much, much more about the collective insanity of that earthquake-ridden, blizzard-beaten crag of an island than anything to do with Sigur Rós's sound. |
 | | Frontman Jon Por Birgisson sings in a language that Sigur Rós dub "Hopelandic"--an otherworldly mutation of Icelandic, sung in the falsetto cadence of angels; similarly, he plays his guitar with a violin bow, opening the floodgates for brilliant waves of feedback. |
 | | Sigur Rs hails from the nation of Iceland, an island the size of Kentucky in the North Atlantic. |
