Sigur Rós
Comment:
Named after singer Jónsi Birgisson's younger sister, born on the same day the band was formed, Sigur Rós has established itself as one of the strangest and most enchanting bands on the planet. From their home base in Iceland, the four-strong phenomenon has picked up the loftier aspirations of the shoegaze faction and — by craft and inspiration — carried them to higher ground. Radiohead helped "discover" the outfit and toured with them back in 2000. If you're new to these incredible soundsmiths, you'll get a sense of what to expect from the production methods used on [i]BA BA TI KI DI DO[/i], the instrumentals written for New York's Merce Cunningham Dance Company, on which suspended ballet shoes were wired to microphones and used as percussion. Go, explore, in awe.
