SIGUR ROS

Post by Sir. Psychedelic Soul »

how likes them.....? they're one of the most mellow and saddest sounding bands i have ever heard....the music is so beautiful and touching that it almost makes me cry every time i hear it......
they're an icelandic band and they make radiohead look like heavy metal compared to them.....

if you haven't heard them yet download some of these tunes:

sigur ros - Untitled 3
sigur ros - Njosnavelin
sigur ros - Svefn G Englar

Their music like puts you into a mood of depression. Seriously one time I actually DID start crying listening to them. I could just lay on my bed and listen to the ( ) CD untill I went to bed. I think them and Godspeed You! Black Emporer play the most depressing music ever.

Yes and I love it. It's real nice winter/autumn music imo. I prefer the Aegitis birjun (or something) to ( ) but that's probably just because I knew Aegitis first. Writing this I spontaniously think of Tortoise and especially Djed from the Millions now living album. Though more technical and less emotional they do have comparisons.
