Sigur Rós have just started the European leg of their tour and to kick it off they performed three new songs live. They recently lost band member Kjartan Sveinsson, which is perhaps the reason for what the band has referred to as a more “aggressive” new direction. They certainly have kept the signature ambient, drawn out instrumentals, so it sounds like the changes won’t be too drastic (although a Sigur Rós death metal album would be interesting). Hopefully we’ll hear how these new tracks sound in the studio soon, but for now, check out the live performances.
See “Kveikur” above and watch ““Yfirborð” and “Hrafntinna” below.
