Sigur Rós

Musical Group

Icelandic band formed in 1994, noted for expansive, cinematic soundscapes, Jónsi's falsetto and bowed-guitar textures, and a mix of ambient and post-rock aesthetics.

Frequently sing in Icelandic and use 'Vonlenska' (Hopelandic); acclaimed studio albums include Ágætis byrjun, ( ), Takk...; documentary Heima documents free concerts across Iceland.

DeBaser's reviews celebrate Sigur Rós's cinematic, ethereal music and powerful live shows. Critics repeatedly highlight albums Ágætis byrjun, ( ), Takk... and the Heima film. Reception is largely admiring, with occasional reservations about later stylistic shifts.

For:Listeners of ambient/post-rock, fans of cinematic and atmospheric music, and readers interested in Icelandic bands.
