The Amazing Videos of Sigur Ros

Posted about 5 years ago
One evening of sophomore year at college, I had my dorm room to myself as my best friend and roommate Colin was in the library studying. Instead of working on more insipid pre-calculus homework, I took a well-deserved break and turned on Colin's television, as I didn't have one of my own at the time. As I surfed the channels, I stumbled upon MTVu and watched the most amazing music video I had ever seen by any artist. This music video was by an Icelandic band called Sigur Ros, and it was for their song called "Glosoli". The song itself is what I consider a musical masterpiece. The music video takes it to a whole new level, using evocative imagery and a sweeping, simple story to create a memorable and nothing short of brilliant 6-minute artistic creation. Here is the music video for "Glosoli":Also, check out the equally mesmerizing music video to another song I consider a musical masterpiece, titled "Saeglopur":Be prepared to be blown away!!! =)

  3. Augusts1 says Sigur Ros is amazing in their commitment to uncompromising artistic expression. It's not surprising that their vids are incredible as well. I really liked the first one w/the kids flying at the end. Only wish more musicians would make artistic vids instead of the commercial crap that most put out these days. Le sigh!
