The Future of Sigur rós

Georg told fréttablaðið today that sigur rós probably won’t be releasing any records this year.

“we’re all pretty busy at the moment so sigur rós is just taking it easy. when we have time we meet up and write new stuff at our own pace. we have some ideas and foundations but nothing final, since we’re not really in a rush. jónsi’s pretty preoccupied with his own projects these days and we’re gonna let him do his thing.”

when asked about what he thinks of jónsi’s solo album:

actually, i’ve only heard that new song on the radio [boy lilikoi]. jónsi still hasn’t let me hear the album, i don’t know if he’s too bashful to let us hear. but the new song is really great, and very jónsi-like.

jónsi has also been talking about sigur rós in new interviews about his upcoming solo record. sigur rós had recorded some new material last year, which at the time was described as ambient and atmospheric, but according to jónsi they will probably start all over again.

we started working on something a few months ago, then we scrapped everything and sold our studio and rehearsal space. now we are back in the drummer’s garage, rocking out like we did when we were 14. i think it’s gonna be good.”

Sparklehorse - Radio Sessions 1999 - 2007 Re- Masters














Sparklehorse - Radio Sessions 1999 - 2007

Ive always been a big fan of Sparklehorse so I thought it would be nice to re-record and re-master these shows and
post them together.
They are all fantastic shows highlighting Mark at his most mellow, laid back and wacky best. Many of these
versions are different from the album versions. If you haven't heard Sparklehorse before but you like simple,
dreamy acoustic music you will love this.

Nico Muhly - Motel Mozaique 11.04.2009

After all the publicity with Jónsi's new album I thought it would be a good
time to share this amazing concert from Nico who worked on the
orchestral elements of 'Go' Nico is joined on stage with Sam Amidon,
Nadia Soroto & Valgeir Sigurson.
The quality of the sound with this concert is just outstanding. Enjoy

Jónsi Birgisson - WNYC Radio Session 21.01.2010 + Interview





















Jónsi Birgisson - WNYC Radio Session 21.01.2010 + Interview

For the first time tonight we heard some previews of Jónsi's new album,
due to be released in March. Jónsi plays three 'very' stripped down,
basic acoustic versions of coming songs from the album.
Very Beautiful indeed. Not to be missed.
Thanks to Darren for making this possible
06.04.2010 - Re-recorded/Re-Mastered/ Re-Mixed - better quality :)

Language of Landscape - Memories Fade Under A Shallow Autumn Snow




















Language of Landscape - Memories Fade Under A Shallow Autumn Snow

This album has been a real treasure find. Its the MOST beautiful, most minimal, modern classical music I have
ever heard. Imagine 'The Tumbled Sea' slowed down 10 times. Its just exquisite. I hope you also find it as
compelling as I have
You can download it in any format you want lossy/lossless from the Bandcamp site. They do ask you to sign
up for a newsletter but you un-subscribe whenever you like.

Explosions in the Sky - Live Vancouver - 03.05.2007 Re Master















Explosions in the Sky - Live Vancouver - 03.05.2007 Re Master

If you only ever get one Explosions live bootleg, then get this one. This
is a fresh master recently done for a friend. I'm gonna stick my neck
out and say this is probably the best bootleg there is of Explosions.
The sound is just amazing, the balance is perfect and even in the
loudest most 'frantic' moments every instrument can be heard
clearly. Enjoy
NB:Mp3 tags corrected

Set List:

01 First breath after coma
02 Welcome ghosts
03 With tired eyes
04 Your hand in mine
05 Greet death
06 Catastrophe and the cure
07 The only moment we were alone

Upcoming Posts - Please Read

I still have some nice things to post but Im going to working mainly on re-uploading all the Sigur Rós concerts in FLAC & MP3 with Mediafire. Starting with 1998. Im also going to checking them as I know there is 1 or 2 Im not 100% happy with.

Iron & Wine - Lowlands 21.08.2009 VIDEO















Iron & Wine - Lowlands 21.08.2009 VIDEO

I've been waiting for ages to get a video of Iron & Wine in concert. The wait has been worth it. This concert
is just amazing. Sam plays with a line up of incredible musicians with the result of some beautiful and
quite surprising rock moments of a seriously grand and yet mellow & funky nature! The sound track is
available in FLAC. Not all the tracks have not been cut individually as there was a lot of
improvisation between tracks.
NB: The video over runs a little bit after the end!

Sigur Rós - Tíu lifandi *UPDATED 4th CD' Added *

Due to many requests I have now finished the 4th and final CD of Tui lifandi - A Celebration of 10 years of Live Music.
I originally only intended to make 2 CD's so thank you to everyone who requested more. Im glad you did, its an amazing collection.
NB: I've just realised (now I've finished) that the CD's are mixed to be listened to as a complete concert so its possible that if you skip to another track it may not start at the very beginning of that song. This was done so as to create, as much as possible, a seamless listening experience. Even though the songs are taken from various concerts over 10 years it almost sounds like 1 long concert.
Ps. Still working out which concerts some of the songs are from!! I lost my notes.
