Sigur Rós: NEW ALBUM IN THE WORKS
Oh my God Oh my God Oh my GOD!!!!!!
I just checked the news at sigur-ros.co.uk and almost fainted!!!!!!!! Well ok not really fainted but my jaw dropped and a tremendous feeling of excitement filled my mind, body and soul. So to speak ;)
READ!!!!!!! (Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God!):
sigur rós have begun recording their new album and expect to finish it later this year. according to georg, it remains to be seen whether the band will be taking a totally new direction on the album. "we have finished recording a few songs but some more things need to be done. we don't know exactly where the album is heading yet. we are really just experimenting at this stage. some of the songs we recorded are old songs which we had written a while ago, unreleased material which we never got a chance to finish. we decided it was time they were recorded." georg says there is a possibility the album will be released this year but nothing is confirmed at this point.

WOW!!!!!! Apart from the "new direction"-thingie which leaves me a bit sceptical, it's so awesome that they recorded some old songs AND may release a new record this year. I dearly dearly dearly hope that "Rokklagid" and "Gitardjamm" are among those songs, or "Salka". But "Rokklagid" would be the bomb!
You can download Rokklagid if you want to; it's a live version from 1999 (source).
