"For a while, Sigur Rós were totally and completely reliable-- they'd release a brain-busting album, spend three years consulting with their mystic muses (or whatever) and then release another brain-busting album that was pretty similar to the previous one. But then came last year's uncharacteristically wily Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, and now the Icelandic group are doing all sorts of exciting things all at once.
There's lead singer Jónsi's upcoming solo album featuring work from Nico Muhly, along with his ambient record with boyfriend Alex Somers, Riceboy Sleeps. And now we get word of an honest-to-goodness new Sigur Rós LP, currently brewing at the band's studio in Álafoss, Iceland, according to a post on their website. Details are scarce at the moment, but phrases like "slower," "more ambient," and "more out there" are being thrown around. The new LP is due out sometime next year."
