Sigur Ros Announce 2013 Tour, To Play Coachella?

November 12th, 2012 Dan Bogosian

Sigur Ros makes some of the weirdest music out there, and as the weird music representative of UTG I have to say I love their entire body of work. They’ve now announced a North American tour for 2013. Prefix Mag thinks that gaps in their schedule in April indicates that they’re also going to play Coachella, but I haven’t gotten my hopes up.

I should also say that I didn’t get my hopes up last year with the rumors that Refused and At The Drive In would play, and I was completely wrong, so hopefully I am again.…

MUSIC VIDEO: Sigur Rós – “Varúð”

June 6th, 2012 Brian Lion

Icelandic post-rock Gods Sigur Rós have released a brand new music video for their track “Varúð” which comes off their impressive, sixth studio album Valtari that dropped May 23.

At nearly 7 minutes in length, the video goes perfectly hand-in-hand with the song in which it provides visuals for. We watch a gorgeously majestic landscape undergo changes through weather as figures gather on the cliffs with lights, matching the sounds of “Varúð”. The video was directed by Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir who also created the cover art for Valtari which debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 this week, making it …

REVIEW: Sigur Rós – Valtari

June 6th, 2012 Josh Hammond

Artist: Sigur Rós
Album: Valtari
Label: XL

During the summer of 2002, I found myself feeling devoid of any emotions or feelings. I had just turned 22, dropped out of college and run away from everything in my life that mattered. Without a road map or plan for my existence, I packed my life in a duffle bag and spent the remainder of my stolen student loan money on a plane ticket to backpack in Europe for a few weeks.

Three days into my trip, I wandered aimlessly into the tiny township of Ambleside, which was located in the North …
