Sigur Rós - Valtari

[auxien]

this is finally starting to grow on me. Varúð, Rembihnútur and Dauðalogn (tracks 3, 4 and 5) really provide a central core of the album, to me at least, with the other tracks kind of in a supporting role. it's a very subtle record, but the electronics are starting to show themselves upon multiple listens. still not my favorite (i'd prefer ( ) or Takk... most days) but it definitely has a specific mood and sound to it that i'm enjoying more now than at first.

The new song Brennisteinn they've been playing at their concerts is better than anything off this album imo: http://consequenceofsound.net/2012/11/video-sigur-ros-debuts-new-song-brennisteinn/

Got a free poster with the album artwork on it from my local record store. I should probably give this a listen, loved ( ) and that blue baby alien one. "A good beginning" i think is how it translates
