Keep a candle lit on this one Indie rock aficionados. Sigur Ros has still got that special weirdness you can't quite touch.
Desolate and hopeful, the songs can be both overwhelming depressing and inspiring without even understanding a word of the vocals. They are that good.
For their live show, Sigur Ros translated their unique music into a stage performance with an intense simplicity. The venue set with bursts of color as dazzling as a fireworks display, wafting in on great clouds of blues and purple lights, bathing the light of the venue in sea greens and deep persian indigo.
The best concert I have ever been to by far, Sigur Ros is expert in drawing out primal emotion in its contemplative requiems. Strumming the guitar with the bow of a violin, the lead singer went into several minutes of silence, while the band took its time building the momentum of each song. The chemistry between the band and audience was electric, the audience giving into spontaneous claps at one instance of accelerating beats. And while the lyrics were indistinguishable, the mood of each song was clearly illustrated in the primal nature of his voice, the presentation of music and the rhythmic methodology of the leader singer's movements on stage.
