New Sigur Rós Single
 

Sigur Rós have just released "Ekki Múkk," the first single from their forthcoming album Valtari.

and it is good.

sounds like the end of the world.

I love it.

Really great. I'm glad they haven't let being the best band ever go to their heads and they can still do cool stuff like make ambient parts in first singles. Definitely can hear Alex's influence, this track reminds me of "Indian Summer" off the Jonsi and Alex album.

Tracklisting:
Ég Anda (“I Breathe”)
Ekki Múkk (“Not a Peep”)
Varúð (“Caution”)
Rembihnútur (“Double Knot”)
Dauðalogn (“Dead Calm”)
Varðeldur (“Campfire”)
Valtari (“Steamroller”)
Fjögur Pianó ("Four Piano")

Edit: Added Fjögur Pianó

so, so good.

I adore this.

But is it fair to ask what their drummer will be doing for 80% of this album?

+ "Fjögur Pianó".

This is amazing! It's got more excited than I already was for the new album. Absolutely love this band.

Pitchfork has this as the track listing. Basically the same as yours, just with one more song which is a plus in my book!

this song makes me hate everything that's not this song.

Yup, I added it.

Day = Made

I agree with the Riceboy Sleeps comparison. Fine with me though!


I think it is...I get the same impression, but we'll see. This is only one song.
