Known primarily for his haunting falsetto and other-worldly presence as the singer in Sigur Rós, Jon Thor (Jónsi) Birgisson has – together with his partner Alex Somers – been exhibiting artwork and staging exhibitions under the name Riceboy Sleeps for two or three years now. A couple of months back the early fruits of the musical side of this collaboration surfaced in physical form for the first time, with the track ‘Happiness’, on the exemplary ‘Dark Was The Night’ Red Hot compilation.

Now, however, the full-length ‘Riceboy Sleeps’ album (the name having migrated from artist moniker to album title) is finished and ready for release. And, as with ‘Happiness’, it is set to subtly redefine expectations of slow and elegiac instrumental music in 2009.

A double LP is expected on 20th July around the £20 mark.

Incidentally the excellent aforementioned “Dark Was The Night” compilation on 4AD is still available as a 3LP set and features a wealth of current independent faves, such as Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear, Decemberists, Feist, Iron & Wine and many more.
