For the sigur ros fans... Jonsi & Alex

Some of the anal amongst you probably already know about this, so please excuse your troll-like comments pointing out that I'm late to the party.

However, for those who haven't heard this album - i think it's on par with most of Sigur's stuff if not better. It's by two of the guys in the band anyway.

The album is on spotify if you want to listen too

I started a thread about this a while ago...

I've had the album for 3/4 months now and still hasn't clicked... maybe I should listen more...

Let's merge the thread. This is an absolutely superb album

Alex is actually Jonsi's boyfriend, not part of Sigur Ros.

Sorry! /anal

In my opinion it's one of the best albums i own. I think the trick is to not listen to it how you would a normal album of 'pop', for want of a better word, songs. It's better to think of it as an hour or so of beautiful, soothing, cathartic soundscape. Spectacular stuff! Boy 1904 in particular is one of the most evocative pieces of music i've ever heard.
