Bleep

‘Valtari’ is the sixth studio album to come from Sigur Ros, a collection of songs that indulge in the band’s love for music of a particular moody sense of sonorous measure. Whilst more recent album excursions have dabbled with upbeat pop melodies, ‘Valtari’ deviates to their earlier days when the pace was slower, the mood more glacial and the execution built around billowing patterns of instrumentation, mournful strings and Jonsi’s other-worldly vocal delivery.
