Valtari Sigur Ros SKU: P6235551 Barcode: 825646369430 31.00 £31.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: EMI Released Date: 9th November 2013 Buying Format: 180g 2LP Includes CD Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Sigur Rós returned with their sixth studio album, Valtari, in May 2012 it was their first studio album since 2008’s acclaimed Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, marking the end of their indefinite hiatus. Re-issued on vinyl as an exact replica of the original vinyl release. Strictly a one off manufacturing run – order now while you can The eight songs on this 54-minute album feel like an alternative musical path the band didn’t take after 2002’s untitled ( ) album. Frequently bereft of formal structures, and for large stretches of time more atmospheres than songs, the work – which the band have described as sounding “like an avalanche in slow motion” – offers a counterpoint to Sigur Rós’s steady yet unconscious migration towards public acceptance (either via ‘sound-bed’ ubiquity or use as emotional shorthand in this or that movie.) In English, Valtari translates as “steamroller,” and there is something right about the title in terms of the process of its creation. In 2011, the band, alongside mixer Alex Somers, started the painstaking forensic task of piecing together a cohesive and magical work from disparate constituent parts. If this sounds unromantic, the results are anything but. Something alchemical occurs when the four members of Sigur Rós are in the room together, and while Valtari is a more “studio based” album than any of its predecessors (which usually start life as rehearsal room jams), the long hours of experimentation and unsentimental editing have yielded incredible results. The band: Jón Þór Birgisson (vocals, guitar), Georg Holm (bass), Kjartan Sveinsson (keyboards/piano), Orri Páll Dýrason (drums). Valtari was recorded by the band at Sundlaugin Studio, Mosfellbaer, Iceland Artist Sigur Ros Genre Rock And Pop Label EMI Buying Options 180g 2LP Includes CD Format 180g , 2LP , Includes CD Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Vinyl side splits; A1.
