The latest SIGUR RÓS album, KVEIKUR, is definitely going to end up in my Album Top 10 list of 2013. Beautiful melodies once again; a bit darker than their previous stuff, and that's exactly how i like it. The version i have is the limited edition with a bonus 10". The bonus EP has 2 songs ons side A that are not featured on the album. They are instrumental ambient pieces that wouldn't have been out of place on David Bowie's Low album (Hryggjarsúla at some points even sounds a bit like Subterraneans). On side B there's a remix of Brennistein - well, it's that it says so, but it's hardly recognizable with no vocals and in a very different tempo. Not bad, but not really special either.
