Sigur Rós will release their fifth LP “Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust” on June 23rd. We will have it available for you at the Smekkleysa webshop at http://www.smekkleysa.net and also at our shop on Laugavegur in Reykjavík. A live stream of this gorgeous new album is available now through the Sigur Rós MySpace page.
“Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust” was co-produced with the band by renowned producer flood, and was recorded in New York City (at Sear Sound Studios), London (at Assault and Battery Studios and Abbey Road), Reykjavík (at Álafoss, the band’s studio, as well as a church in Reykjavík), and Havana, Cuba.
The album title translates into english as “With A Buzz In Our Ears We Play Endlessly.”
This is the first album in the band’s career to be made outside of Iceland. It is also their first album to feature vocalist Jónsi’s vocals in English on one track. In addition to the English, one of the album’s tracks is sung without lyrics and the rest of the tracks are sung in Icelandic.
We are all very excited for this album’s release. To pass the time until June 23rd, be sure to see the rest of the amazing Sigur Rós catalogue at our webshop!
