Route One isn't new, it's this thing

sigur rós - route one

I think it was out on vinyl for Record Store Day this year also, along with 3 other things (probably all going up on Spotify tomorrow too in that case)

 

more info about what it is

 

Jonsi & Alex EP from 2009 is also on spotify

 

My friend is selling this if anyone is interested

Ew. Dude's gross. Sigur Ros deserves better than that. Glad he left.

 

“Resigned” lol is this kind of “resignation” we see out of the trump admin every other week aka fired af

 

So Jónsi and the bassist are the only remaining original members now, right?

 

Correct.

 

Jonsi is releasing a triple album next week.

Received this press release in an email

 

We really need a new Sigur Ros album. It has to be done?

 

So Frakkur is pretty incredible, huh?

 

Received this press release email this morning. Looks like Sigur Ros is creating an “endless ambient mixtape,” and 3 separate playlists from it (with new songs and remixes) are now available on streaming. Excited to dive in today.

 

liminal has been around since the summer, they’re doing a live show and streaming it, though.

 

I didnt know that. Thats weird that I just got the email then

 

I just got into this band. I know, I know I’m way behind. They’re incredible. I’ve been stuck on Kveikur and genuinely love everything about it. Can anyone in here give me pointers on how to go about listening to the rest of their discography?

 

I'd suggest starting at Ágætis byrjun and listening forward. Go back to Von if you want to listen to everything. Also, check out Jonsi's solo album!

 

I think Takk is a good first album, though you could probably start at Agaetis Byrjun. That album changed my outlook on life when I was a teenager.

 

I actually started listening to Takk as well (so good!) but have been so in love with Kveikur that I want to keep taking it in. Also listened to part of () which I actually did hear a bit of a while back.

I almost wanted to save Ágætis Byrjun for last because of what I’ve heard about it being their masterpiece.

 

I think Kveikur calls back to the darker vibes of Von & Ágætis Byrjun, or at least emphasizes those sounds and expands on them.
I’m also really into Valtari.

 

Ágætis byrjun is otherworldly. I think the climax in Viðrar vel til loftárása is my favorite moment in their discography.

 

um.. wow

Sigur Rós Announce Massive Ágætis Byrjun 20th Anniversary Box Set

An elaborately packaged 7xLP box set features three LPs of rarities and demos, a double LP of their Live Íslenska Óperan 1999 concert, and an 84-page hardback book in a linen-bound box.

 

I would rather have a new album which I fear might never come. They also got 2 RSD releases coming.
