Just the idea of Jonsi having a side project is amazing because he is such an amazing producer, and after hearing a couple songs from it I am even more stocked. This is going to be classic.

Jonsi is so amazing I acually don't really give a fuck haha.
Like honestly when I found that the guy from the Bloc Party was gay the way I listened to their music kind of changed because I'm shallow like that but when I found Jonsi was gay I thought it would make the music he made gay, for like of a better word, but then I put in Takk and I realized it didn't matter, if that makes any sense.

Why should sexuality matter?? If the music is good then the music is good... That's retarded to not like a band because a member is gay

It shouldn't matter at all and the concept is stupid that it should have any affect.
But in all honesty songs like I Still Remember and alot of the songs from their newest record have lost personal meaning for me because of my shallowness.
But they are still a great band it's just I'm saying that Jonsi has been able to break through my slight homophobia, you know? And like I said the concept is completly moronic and idiotic.

you know they say people that are homophobic are merely unsure about their own sexuality.

That's why I'm Metrosexual!

Their song on the Dark Was The Night compilation was decent and I love Sigur Ros so I'll more than likely enjoy this

YouAreMySilence-

Commenting on your original post- its "background" not "back round".

Back round makes no sense at all...

i like the stuff he does with sigur ros, but hmm. i could play this song on an eight dollar keyboard.

maybe ambient stuff just isn't for me.

Question: Did these guys attend Berklee or any musical school?They mention Boston in the video so I was wondering since they are really talented.

This leaked.
And after a complete listen and multiple re listens of "Indian Summer" I'm thinking that this could battle Mono for best of '09 so far.
