4 months ago

Just over ten years ago, a four-piece Icelandic band were ready to set an astonishing new album loose on a very much unsuspecting world.At a time when the music industry was asleep at the wheel during the onslaught of manufactured pop and nu-metal, Ágætis byrjun was the soundtrack for waking from the most beautiful coma. In the present day, from the echoes of the sonar that kicks off 'Svefn-g-e.

Review: Sigur Rós - Heima

Urge to purchase gigantic fleecy sweaters like those sported by the band throughout the film.Those expecting a by-the-numbers concert video in Heima wi..

about 1 year ago

It is very difficult for any Sigur Rós fan - no matter how long they've fed their ears with some of the most glorious music put to record in the 21st century - to free the band from the association they've been given with the words 'glacial' and 'epic'. The band themselves have found these seemingly tailor-made-for-Icelandic-music tags difficult to shake off. The release of new album Með suð í

On occasion I allow my personal life to bleed over and contaminate the lovely and witty pages of TWF. It doesn't happen all that often, but I do feel as the sole author, writer, and creative personality behind this blog that I can afford myself the luxury to pretty much say whatever the heck I want.

I Just got home from seeing Sigur Ros. Swooooooooooooooon. The deed is done. I can die... right after I see them again.

Before the show started, my friend Bergy and I took bets on which song they would open wi...
