Jonsi (Sigur Ros singer)

[Alex_Burton]

The singer from Sigur Ros is putting out a solo record next year, and they put a song online last week. Anybody else hear this/dig this? If you're a fan of Sigur Ros you'll probably love it. I can't wait for the record. The song is amazing. Just gorgeous!

Will definitely listen to the album

[musikjunky311]

Yes i have heard about it and I am really excited.

[jbaseball44]

Apparently all of the songs are in English, so that should be interesting.

[Nettn07]

I absolutely LOVE this song, and I can't wait for the album.

Yeah I wonder why he decided to do that. Not that I can really decipher all of the words to Boy Lilikoi anyway given his Icelandic accent and all.

I can't really understand what he sings at all parts of the song either.. I thought the lyrics was all english in the first part of the song, and then Icelandic in the second part of the song.

[EvilZeppelin]

I've been getting my Sigur Rós on lately.

[HometownHero]

This is going to be spectacular

[oddwithoutend]

My first impression of the song is that it's pretty mediocre.

[Pat k]

Very impressed- can't wait to hear more.

[murrich]

Sounds pretty good, will be looking forward to hearing more.

[duffe]

look forward to hear the whole album.

Would be nice if a staffer could merge the threads

[hoser1689]

ha i dig it and i like how unlike the Riceboy Sleeps album it focuses more on the poppier side of Sigur Ros. But yeah needless to say im excited for the album and even more excited for the new sigur ros album which is suppose to be dropping next year aswell!

One of the best straight-up pop songs I've ever heard.

Whatever dude! Have you heard the Beatles?

[blebbio]

Whatever dude! Have you heard the Beatles?
yeah, i actually have. they're pretty good.

[Pat k]

yeah, i actually have. they're pretty good.

But seriously, it's cool you think this music is so poppy and good. I hear obscure stuff all the time, and to me it sounds like Beyonce. After listening to tons of good, weird music, my standards are all fucked up.

[blebbio]

Well I don't listen to the pop radio or straight up pop music in general much so I don't know if this is particularly good pop song or whatever but this is one of the better newish pop songs I've heard.

[drudo182]

I think this song is incredible. Wow.

Can't wait for the album.

[EndSerenading]

awesome :)

[vickasaur_xoxo]

I haven't heard of this, but now i'm really excited.
I'm sure that i'll love it.

Go listen and download the track. It's Awesome!

[Kid B]

[hoser1689]

Wow. If he can keep this up, the album will be amazing. Go Do sounds great. I wish I could find it anywhere else than YouTube though. CD quality.

[Klatzke]

I'm not a Sigur Ros fan, but I like the songs I've heard from this so far.

[jbaseball44]

Anyone listen to the album yet?

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

Anyone listen to the album yet?

I take it the album leaked?

[kearn1tm]

I take it the album leaked?

Yep.

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

Yep.

Hmm. Have you heard it?

[Nettn07]

downloading now.. :excited:

[Kid B]

What quality?

[kearn1tm]

Hmm. Have you heard it?

coughpmcough

[jbaseball44]

What quality?
so-so at best.

[Nettn07]

What quality?

mine's 128. :-( Only one I could find.

Listening to Animal Arithmetic right now. I think this album will exceed my expectations

[Kid B]

You mean bitrate or writing?

[Nettn07]

You mean bitrate or writing?

bitrate

[The Indigo]

So... how is it?

[Klatzke]

Is anyone interested in helping me procure this?

[Kid B]

bitrate

Sorry if it sounded like I asked a stupid question, I meant to ask Jbaseball. Well, the 128 explains why this isn't on What.cd. I think I'll wait for a better quality leak. An album like this with so much attention to detail needs to be better quality than 128.

[jbaseball44]

I meant bitrate, I haven't really given the album a good listen yet

yeah I know. Just finished my first listen of the whole album and it's amazing. Hopefully a better quality version will leak very soon.

[Wake Up]

Yes
