Sigur Rós - ( )

Iceland’s most famous musical export after Bjork, Sigur Rós is following Prince into the realm of the bizarre—at least when it comes names (remember Prince’s symbol?). The ambient rock band’s latest album is un-named and represented only by a pair of parentheses. Nor are there any song titles or intelligible lyrics (Jon Por Birgisson sings in glossolalia, a mix of Icelandic lyrics and creative gibberish). But Sigur Rós’ last album, the wonderfully atmospheric Agaetis Byrjun, was a work of such strange beauty that any followup is bound to be worth a listen.
