The music I'm currently musing over and gathering inspiration from
Sigur Ros - Meo Suo I Eyrum Vio Spilum Endalaust
The latest album from the Icelandic band Sigur Ros, I dare say this is their best yet. While still maintaining the soft melodic style they have become renowned for Sigur Ros have managed to transform their music into something much more, this album reflects their roots by being beautiful and soft, yet at the same time have managed to transform it to a new level of energy with poppy beats and untamed crescendos.
Simply - This album is amazing.
Songs worthy extra note
Their new single - Gobbledigook
Track 4 - Vio Spilum Endalaust
and
Track 7 - Ara Batur
Or if you just prefer to watch naked people run around in wild, untamed utopianism you should check out the Gobbledigook music video
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Kinda think of this album like The Sleepy Jackson were in a head on collision with some killer synth and wicked beats. This album has some catchy riffs and the vocals of a folk singer.
Songs worthy of extra note:
Track 5 - Kids
Track 2 - Weekend Wars
Upcoming Releases
