Sigur Ros Previews New Album


(Sigur Ros blissfully gallop across the hillside in search of Bjork's Reykjavík lair.)

Icelandic space rockers Sigur Ros are celebrating the release of their latest album by making it available to fans for free on the band's website. Free, that is, at least for the time being.

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, the foursome's fifth studio LP is currently available at sigurros.com/main/streaming.asp. On first listen, it is abundantly clear that the album, loosely translated to With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly (forgive us, we only minored in Icelandic), is a bit more upbeat than long time listners might expect. It is set for release on June 23.
