If you were wondering (like I was) if Sigur Rós new album was more of the same, you couldn't be more wrong. Then again, it might actually be more of the same, but of something as essential as air, water, or blood.

The album is as breathtaking as the previous two. As it should be.

There is a video for Glósóli which is as beautiful and ethereal as all their previous videos - icelandic children and icelandic landscape is all one needs to do a great video.

And from their website:

"it’s time for the annual sigur rós gossip column. orri and his girlfriend lukka were married last week on a beach in hawaii, just the two of them plus the hawaiian priest. georg and his girlfriend svanhvít were also married earlier this summer, by hilmar örn hilmarsson, their friend and head of ásatrúarfélagið, the icelandic religion of norse mythology. kjartan and maría (from amina) got married a couple of years ago in las vegas while on tour. jónsi also appears to have found his soulmate in his boyfriend alex. we’d like to congratulate all the band members on the happiness they’ve found, and hope it continues to be reflected in their music."

isn't love precious?
