The 'strings' you are hearing, is just a guitar. He plays it with a chello bow.

Great stuff, although I only have/heard one cd... I've definitely gotten into the folky post-rock kind of stuff lately.

I've heard one song, it was posted on ebaums world, which was ok

I've heard them.
My friend loves them.
From what i've hear, i like them.

Yeah I've heard of them. Bungalow showed them to me.

There be strings there, extras come on stage to play them in concert anyway.

If anyone have the link of the band's songs , could you post?

theyre a good band, but theres better post-rock out there.

Sigur Ros are great. I have two of their Albums, Aegetic Byrjun and (), both of which are very good. They're great for those nights when you sleep; intersting enough to listen to the whole album, but unobtrusive.

I just don't get how this band gets genre - ized. What is Post-rock anyway?
How does this band get there?

that was taken from Wikipedia, written by post-rock fans to describe the genre. Sigur Ros are post-rock because of their structure and atmosphere, minimalistic musicianship and soundscapes.

i was just saying theres better stuff. Jeniferever and Gregor Samsa are both vocal, atmospheric post-rock bands and far superior IMO.

Man, I still think boxing artists in sucks ass. These guys, to me anyway, don't seem to conform to post-rock, well they do, but they also could be called so many other genres. Genres suck!

i didnt say it to box in sigur ros.. they box themselves in, though its a very very open box.

anyway, yes genres suck, but theyre useful to describe music. saying 'theres better post-rock' is far easier than saying 'theres better bands that do a similar kind of thing'..

^ True.

Though of all the post rock bands i have heard, i still like Sigur Ros the most.

love sigur ros.
incredible.
almost wet myself when I saw them live.
oh my god.
so good.

I'll agree with the gregor samsa comment.

I have heard of them, I know they are a very interesting post-rock band, but I havent listened to them. I hope to soon, as I love that kind of music :)

Sigur ros
 

amazing icelandic dream band. sometimes sing in another language. check them out. tell me what you think. im having a hard time to comprehend their beauty.

:love: Great band!

But I lost my cd, I had Takk. But I never got to listening to older albums.
Are they any good?

good, but slightly overrated band - there are better bands of a similar style out there.

their best album IMO is ()

Takk is one of the best albums everrrrrrr

They're hit or miss with me. I love some of it and hate some of their stuff as well.

I've seen you say that about numerous albums now.... Make up your mind! :beer:

I love everything I've head by them, I think my favorite album is ( ) though or maybe that's just because I've been listening to it alot more than I use to. I don't think there's many bands doing what Sigur Ros do better then them I think people just say that because they're on a major label and popular now.

Whats wrong with music.

I love Sigur Rós. I have Takk and Aegetic Bryjun. Both brilliant albums.
I had the chance to see them a few months ago at a music festival. But I decided to stay in the pit and watch RHCP with my friends cause I was too chicken **** to wonder off on my own...Biggest regret of the summer!

sigur ros are the greatest band of all time. they are not from this earth.

I really like Sigur Ros but usually I stick my favorite tracks onto mixes with stuff like Mogwai and GYBE. A whole album at once can get tedious sometimes.
But I still like them!

Anyone hear Sigur Ros do that collaboration with The Album Leaf?

My girlfriend bumloves these. Really hard. I'm gonna have to download some of their stuff methinks... I've only heard their music on the odd advert.

*dances*

My imaginery penis just made my pants tight.

My imaginary pants just made my penis tight.

I wish someone would let me in on what it so great about track 8 on ()

It just sounds like a Radiohead B side to me

What you don't realize is that while you listen it's increasing your sperm count.

^^comedy gold:yeah: You'd never be able to get away with that on movieforums. :laughing:

:) Unless you're Pimp of course.

Ok, I tried downloading some tracks didnt like it, but I'll give it a second chance. Based off my musical tastes, someone reccommend some tracks I'm sure to love.

.

Wow that looks busy. Can't wait for a followup to Takk... - easily my favourite lie back in a field and listen at full volume album
