	Sigur Rós - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sigur Rós is an Icelandic post-rock band with shoegazing and minimalist elements.
		In October of 2003, Sigur Rós joined Radiohead in composing music for Merce Cunningham's dance piece Split Sides; Sigur Rós' three tracks were named Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do and released in March of 2004.
		Sigur Rós have recorded four new songs to appear on the EP.

	Sigur Ros's 'Takk' is a welcome turn - The Boston Globe
		Anderson probably reasoned that because Sigur Ros creates sounds that are otherworldly -- lead singer Jon Thor Birgisson warbles in a falsetto that approximates a lovesick, hermaphroditic extraterrestrial -- that the quartet's music would be ideal for a scene involving a Jacques Cousteau-inspired trip into an ocean of stop-motion animated mollusks.
		Since its inception in 1994, Sigur Ros has performed canorous emotions, not songs, and accepting the band's lack of musical structure is first frustrating, and subsequently exhilarating.
		Like all Sigur Ros albums, ''Takk" is the soundtrack to a dreamy imaginary film that unfolds in a recording studio that was once an indoor swimming pool outside of Reykjavik.

	Sigur Rós: Takk... (2005): Reviews
		Sigur Ros' fourth album is the first to feature songs sung mainly in their native Icelandic, rather than their fabricated Hopelandish.
		Sigur Rós piece together breathtaking orchestrations that sound like they're singing to you from another world, telling you why your world is not so bad, that even in all the miserable monotony, something beautiful perseveres.
		Sigur Ros's sudden accessibility doesn't tarnish their mystique, but deepens and colours it.

		Now Sigur Ros are back with their follow-up record, which is officially untitled but universally referred to as "()" after the die-cut symbols on the CD's cover.
		Sigur Ros' strange, ethereal music would be equally at home in a new-age spa and in your craggiest, iciest nightmares; it's like the bastard offspring of Enya and Radiohead.
		Sigur Ros' two years of touring behind this material, however, means that dedicated fans have identified the songs' working titles from concert set lists and helpfully posted them across the Internet.

	Sigur Rós: Takk... - PopMatters Music Review
		Sigur Rós is a band that, though celebrated by critics, have barely made it onto the radar of the trendy rock scene.
		These new songs flow together perfectly, and as with all Sigur Rós albums, it is difficult to tell where one begins and another ends.
		This is Sigur Rós' intention: They alienate impatient listeners in favor of a new album format.

		The five elements were choreography by Merce Cunningham, music by Radiohead and Sigur Ros, decor by Robert Heishman and Catherine Yass, costumes by James Hall, and lighting by James F. Ingalls.
		Sigur Rs' unmistakable collage of operatic vocals (sung in Jn Thr Birgisson's hybrid of Icelandic and his own private Hopelandish language), elegantly bowed guitar tracks, sublime and enthralling keyboard and string textures, and, perhaps most importantly, wide expansive spaces has won the band universal acclaim.
		Having just celebrated their 10th anniversary as a band, Sigur Ros are presently in the studio, recording a new album anticipated for release this fall.

		The album's sweeping, otherworldly soundscapes and singer Thór Birgisson's eerie, inhuman vocals -- often sung in a make-believe language -- are as curiously alien as the silver-inked, winged creature that graces the album's cover.
		Sigur Ros' music completely engulfs you, sending shivers up your spine and goosebumps along your arms.

		Sigur Ros's immense, uncategorisable sound, fronted by Birgisson's unearthly falsetto, is undoubtedly evocative - but nobody can agree on what exactly it evokes.
		Sigur Ros's surroundings have bequeathed their music a sense of enormous space.
		When Sigur Ros were growing up, there was only one TV channel, which didn't broadcast at all on Thursdays.

		Reykjavík-based noise quartet Sigur Ros 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 Ros' sound.
		Frontman Jon Por Birgisson sings in a language that Sigur Ros 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 Ros are a 4 piece outfit from Iceland, whose second studio album is quite simply the most jaw dropping, heart stopping piece of music that these ears have heard in ages and ages.

	Comfort Music: Sigur Rós
		Sigur Rós has rolled back into town with a new album, Takk, which doesn't particularly break new ground, but certainly demonstrates they are still capable of being exactly as awesome as they have always been.
		They put on a hell of a show the last time they were in town; I was in the balcony at the Moore, and I still felt like I needed a seat belt.
		What do they call that part?" Sigur Rós is a master of that song structure, but no one on the list knew if there's a term for it.

		Sigur Ros formed in 1994 in Iceland and became a chamber-pop sensation a few years later when their first album spawned an unlikely number-one hit.
		I Sigur Ros si sono formati nel 1994 in Islanda e fecero sensazione qualche anno dopo quando il loro primo album raggiunse un improbabile successo da n.1.
		Ed ancora, i più bei momenti dei Sigur Ros rimangono i più piccoli melodrammatici: 1, 4 e 7 (o Death) richiama l'immagine di organismi fragili che strisciano su paesaggi spettrali.

	John J. Miller on Sigur Ros on National Review Online
		But calling Sigur Ros a rock band is like calling the Rolling Stones a blues band —; not a ridiculously obtuse description, but still in basic need of a ticket to the clue bus.
		Whatever Sigur Ros is, the music is totally different from what's played on radio stations that still insist on labeling themselves "alternative." This band is the alternative to alternative.
		To complicate matters, the previous Sigur Ros album was called () — yes, that's an empty pair of parentheses — and none of its eight songs was given a title.

		Indeed, Sigur Rós offers a decidedly "sountracky" sound, as do so many bands loosely associated with the dreaded term "post-rock." It's hard to imagine what sort of movie their music would be the soundtrack to, but it would definitely be something "melodramatic," full of bombast and operatic fury.
		Well, Sigur Rós has claimed that they will change music and the way people think about music forever -- in short, they've done no less than anoint themselves the new saviors of rock and roll.
		If not for the Sigur Róses of the world, all music would be an exercise in excruciating dullness.

	Sígur Ros: ( ) - PopMatters Music Review
		I've seen effusive and lukewarm and incredibly hostile reviews of this record, and all of them recapitulate what we already know about Sígur Ros, the band's history and their last LP and all, as if that stuff has anything to do with this record.
		The fifth track continues in the same plodding moody mode for eight minutes before turning into a loud march for its last two, and the rest of the tracks pretty much follow the same formula, long slow buildups leading to emotional releases.
		The only time when Sígur Ros messes with their second-half game plan is on the last track, when they decide to undeniably rock out for the second half of the song.

	Sigur Rós: Takk: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Thus, the mythology of Iceland-- of staggering literacy and longevity, of Björk, of Reykjavik, of volcanoes and fisheries and giant slabs of ice-- became the mythology of Sigur Rós.
		In 2001, Sigur Rós were deliciously strange, the only sensible soundtrack to post-millennial comedowns, all future and faith, bones and blood and ice and sun, culled gently from an island far, far away.
		Takk proves that Sigur Rós can, in fact, transcend their own legend: The tendency to descend into new age goo is still present, and Takk, like all of Sigur Rós' discography, is not for the viscerally-minded.

		That was the case Wednesday as Sigur Ros brought its ethereal space-rock to the hallowed venue.
		To loosely paraphrase an old Rolling Stones song, it's the singer, not the lyrics, in the case of Sigur Ros.
		Late in the set, Sigur Ros and Amina showed their instrumental prowess, stopping on a dime midway through one number for dramatic effect, leaving some members of the audience unsure whether to applaud or simply wait until the song began again.

		Coming from Iceland, in a little more than five years, they've made the universe their stage, with a sound that doesn't repeat anywhere else in nature and touching some of the deepest fibers you could ever imagine to be found inside of you.
		But it is this album by Iceland's Sigur Ros that had me excited for well over a month (and would have been longer if I had known about it sooner!).
		The name of the CD means "Thanks" and that's what I want to say to Sigur Ros and the musical spirit which inspires their truly unique, beautiful, and sincere music.

		They’re the words that come to mind when your ears first fall upon the sound of Sigur Rós, and they’re the words you’ll think of after 1000 listens.
		Even amongst this inspiring collection, there are standout tracks, like Hoppipolla, a rousing hymn with a rising piano arpeggio at its centre, and Saeglopur, which positively thunders along once it gets going.
		If ‘hauntingly’ and ‘beautiful’ are two words you don’t mind associating together when it comes to music, then prepare to fall for Sigur Rós.
