About Sigur Rós
Sigur Rós formed in Reykjavík in 1994, with Jónsi Birgisson and bassist Georg Hólm at the core. Ágætis byrjun brought the band attention outside Iceland, and the follow-up, known as ( ), left its eight tracks untitled and its lyrics wholly in Hopelandic.
Takk... included 'Hoppípolla', which went on to soundtrack countless television trailers and nature documentaries. The band's Icelandic homecoming tour of free, unannounced shows was filmed as Heima. After Kveikur, a harsher and more percussive record, a long gap followed until Átta, which brought keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson back and leaned on orchestral strings.
