April Fool!
Ok, ok, I admit it, Sigur-ros.co.uk had me ;).
The story:
As previously written, there'll be a new single/EP out soon. When I checked the news section at sigur-ros.co.uk today, I read:
download sæglópur b-side
1 April 2006
sigur rós have been kind enough to give the fans a preview of the upcoming sæglópur ep. you can now download one of the b-sides, refur, here. refur is a unique sigur rós song as it marks the first time that kjartan steps away from his usual background vocals and takes the lead vocals. as a result, the song has taken a more upbeat direction than the band’s previous works, which, according to jónsi, is likely to characterize the band’s future releases.

, and downloaded it immediately....already very curious about the song from the description...."the song has taken a more upbeat direction than the band’s previous works, which, according to jónsi, is likely to characterize the band’s future releases" - I was already high and hopeful for the possibility that there might be even more songs like "Hoppípolla" and "Olsen olsen"...but then at the same time a bit sceptical for fear of not having songs like "Mílanó" and "Vidrar vel til loftarasa" in the future ...I shouldn't think too much.

According to posts on the message board, it's a song by a band called Leoncie who wrote this in appreciation ;) for Sigur.
However, until I realized it, it scared the shit out of me.

This is the real Sigur Rós (you might check out: olsen olsen, untitled #4 (a.k.a. njósnavélin / the nothing song), and viðrar vel til loftárása)
