Ever since I first heard Sigur Ros, I've kept my ears open for Icelandic bands or music produced in Iceland. There's something magical about that place. Son Lux and Julianne Barwick have recorded stuff there that sounds different from their normal stuff -- the influence of Iceland? Anyway, I loved this album the first time I heard it...and here I am today listening to it again for the umpteenth time. It never fails to lift my spirits and take me to that mythical land of the Lionheart, where the creatures with four Dirty Paws help the birds wage a wintry war against the queen bee and her army.
