Sigur Rós are a band like no other. Forging a totally individual path, disconnected from the pop mainstream, they have nonetheless been embraced by critics, public and the glitterati alike. It's not every day that an album of haunting post-rock sung in Icelandic is voted best new album in America but Ágætis Byrjún is no ordinary album, and Sigur Rós are no ordinary band.
Sometimes a band falls to earth as if from thin air; unrelated and seemingly oblivious to any musical trend, yet landing with an immediate and profound emotional impact.
