Icelandic dream-rock heroes Sigur Rós released Valtari,
their last album, less than a year ago, and they’ve already announced
plans for the follow-up. Kveikur, out in a couple of months, is
the band’s first album as a trio, now that multi-instrumentalist
Kjartan Sveinsson has left the band. The new album will include a bunch
of songs that the band has been playing
live lately, and the members of the band have been calling the LP’s
sound “more aggressive.”
That certainly applies to their latest eight-minute swoonathon
“Brennisteinn,” which welds the band’s trademark falsetto swoops to a
serious low-end churn. The band has just shared director Andrew Huang‘s video for
the track, and it’s a cryptic, muddy epic allegory about something or
other. Combined with the song’s prog-metal undercurrents, it’s enough to
convince me that they’ve been spending some time with old Tool videos
lately.
