sigur ros

The Icelanders are back doing what they do best - heart-heavy, spacious, and enveloping sounds that veer from glacial chills to the warm of a roaring hearth, it's exquisite stuff!.

Sigur Rós’ first new studio album in ten years, 'ÁTTA', is their most intimate and emotionally direct record to date. Few bands cut through the noise and distractions of the world to bring you a pure elemental truth or feeling like Sigur Rós. As we hear on 'ÁTTA', there’s a new compulsion and drive to the band that comes with the new formation of the line up. Multi-instrumentalist Kjartan Sveinsson is back in the fold – having left the band in 2012 – to join frontman Jónsi and bassist Georg Holm.

'ÁTTA' leans heavily towards the orchestral, and touches on everything that has made Sigur Rós one of the most ambitious bands of recent times, whilst signposting an exciting and expansive possibility for their future. 'ÁTTA' prominently features the London Contemporary Orchestra conducted by Robert Ames, alongside brass performed by longtime Icelandic collaborators Brassgat í bala. It is mixed and co-produced by another frequent collaborator Paul Corley, alongside the band.
