About the Album
Sigur Rós occupies a unique place in the post-rock landscape — music that has the emotional weight of classical music and the atmospheric sprawl of ambient, but the energy of a band playing in a room together. ‘Sæglópur’ means ‘lost at sea’ in Icelandic/Hopelandic. The arrangement holds that feeling of being adrift while still moving — disorientation without panic (clean guitar, hamonics mixed with bit crushed delay and chorus.) Jónsi’s falsetto world translated into the tenor saxophone and cello. Noah Preminger's solo particularly soars, goose-bump worthy.
