Markedly a lesser release by Icelandic legends Sigur Ros, but not without it's own merits.
Striving in a much more ambient direction than their usual post-rockier leanings, they once
again generate warped, childlike, ominous yet homely textures and atmospheres that prove
engaging and bursting with life despite their minimalistic nature. The bookends here are by far
the most interesting - Ba Ba's juvenile melodies proving entrancing, and Di Do's descent into
glitchier territory adding moodiness and uneasiness into the cauldron. It's not mindblowing by
any means, but for what it is it's worth taking the 20 minutes to check it out for fans of the
band.
