1) Product Description
Inspired by the unfettered feeling of the acoustic performances filmed during Heima, Sigur Rósadopted a looser approach in creating their fifth album Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust.The album consequently is fresher and more human than anything they ve previouslyrecorded.Rough edges, cracked notes, and the sound of fingers on strings are audible resulting in tracks(e.g. Íllgresi ) that prove to be the band's sparsest and most affecting work to date. Worry notthough, plenty of electric guitar can be heard throughout the album ensuring Sigur Rós commitment to challenging sonic limitations.Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust is truly a groundbreaking album for Sigur Rós. It s thefirst time they ve attempted to write, record, mix, release and support (by touring) an album inthe same year. Notoriously known for their laborious writing/recording style and their Icelandicroots, Sigur Rós decided to record an album outside of Iceland for the first time. Recording,mixing and mastering sessions took place in such un-Reykjavik cities as New York (SearSound and Sterling Sound), London (Abbey Road and Assault & Battery) and Havana. Theresult is pretty much their leave home album, the anti-Heima.The opening track, Gobbledigook , is a manifesto setter with its shifting/no time signature. Onthe last track, All Alright , Sigur Rós find themselves singing a song solely in English for thefirst time. The seventh track, Ára Bátur , was performed with a full orchestra and the LondonOratory Boys Choir. This was recorded in one take with no overdubs and the result was 90people playing at once and just one perfect take. This is their first album working with Flood(U2, Depeche Mode, PJ Harvey) and the first since their debut to not be recorded with KenThomas. It was a true co-production, one that found Sigur Rós breaking out of oldmolds/habits.The cover artwork is a photo taken from a flyer for Ryan McGinley s most recent photoexhibition in NYC, I Know Where the Summer Goes , and the image captures perfectly thespirit of the album, one of free-spirited happiness and exploration.The band will be touring the US throughout the fall of 2008 to support Med Sud I Eyrum VidSpilum Endalaust.
