Little sister snagged me the 10 year anniversary vinyl of this at record store day this morning. It’s a sweet green pressing. Pretty hyped.

No it's legit. They've been debuting songs during more recent gigs with the goal of an album in June. Their orchestral-backed tour starts on the 16th, too.



There's a leak of the album title, art and tracklist on the Mexico SR fan page on Facebook, and on the discord it has been confirmed that the week commencing 12th June will be a busy one for them.



By all accounts it will be a return to a more neo-classical, introspective sound rather than anything more poppy and bombastic.

Oh cool. Nice 👍🏻 you obviously had inside information / good sources then. Haha. Introspective / neo-classical sounds good. I think this was lightning in a bottle and wouldn’t want them to try and repeat it. Med Sud is quite poppy and that’s easily my least fave album of theirs post-Von

Hmm… i like it, but I’m definitely gonna need to hear it in context. I don’t figure it’s representative of the whole album (given that there’s hardly anything to it), so i dunno. Not something i would listen to regularly, but as a here-and-there, it’s fine

Though, if the whole album is like this song, i think that could be really interesting in the right setting too

^agreed heavily. enjoyed it a reasonable amount and it has my eyebrow raised, but i'm probably going to need a little more across the full album

Given the album is expected to flow from one track to the next I agree. It is a beautiful single though, with gorgeous swells. Jonsi's vocals sound great so heavily reverbed against that wet piano too. Mmmm.

new song is definitely fuel for anyone who sees sigur ros as ambient basic baby music, but also it doesn't have a big crescendo so this is okay

I wouldn’t insult ambient or babies like that and I fucking hate babies
