jónsi : go

Know me well and you know that I am musically married to Sigur Rós.

Their Front Man, Jón Þór Birgisson, released a solo album yesterday.

It's called "go."

It's not Sigur Rós--and I am so bent on Icelandic that the English hurts--but there is some truly wonderful work in the album.

...and fortunately, Jónsi is so Icelandic, that most of the lyrics are unintelligible anyway, and they get lost in the beauty of his voice--and it is full of that.

"Sinking Friendships," "Grow Till Tall," and "Hengilás" are good places to start.

Here's the link where you can listen to the album in its entirety.

GO

wes.

PS--Sigur Rós is the most beautiful, relevant and important music ever made.
