Sigur Ros is releasing a new album, Valtari, on May 28. The album will apparently have seven tracks, and premiering today on the Icelandic band’s website is the nearly 8-minute track “Ekki Múkk”.
The website also includes a brief but interesting quote from Georg:
“i really can’t remember why we started this record, i no longer know what we were trying to do back then. i do know session after session went pear-shaped, we lost focus and almost gave up…did give up for a while. but then something happened and form started to emerge, and now i can honestly say that it’s the only sigur rós record i have listened to for pleasure in my own house after we’ve finished it.
Valtari tracklist:
