SIGUR ROS – KVEIKUR

Description

‘Kveikur’ is the seventh album by Sigur Rós, originally released on XL Recordings in June 2013. Described by the band as “more aggressive” than any of their previous work, Kveikur – which means ‘fuse’ or ‘candle wick’ in the band’s native Icelandic – is heavier, both thematically and sonically. All of the lyrics are sung in Icelandic rather than the wordless “vonlenska” (Hopelandic) as on ‘( )’, providing a more grounded experience.
