Full Album Stream: The New Sigur Ros Album

Last week we espoused our love of Sigur Ros' first single and video, "Gobbledigook," from the forthcoming Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. Since we won't ever be able to comfortably pronounce that title, we've taken to calling it "The Naked Dudes Hurdling a Highway Guard Rail Album." It just rolls off the tongue easier. Stream the entire album on the previously posted widget.

Sigur Ros Unveil Album Details, Video, MP3

Sigur Ros will follow-up 2005's Takk with Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust on June 24th via XL. Just in case you don't speak Icelandic that title translates to "With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly." Awesome, right? Well, it gets even awesomer!

You can stream lead-off track "Gobbledigook" below or, depending on how uptight your boss is, watch the NSFW Ryan McGinley directed video. Nudity aside, it's visually stunning and deserves the high-res treatment which you can find on the band's website along with a 320 kbps MP3.

Sigur Ros: Worst Interview in History?

Last week NPR invited Sigur Ros into the studio for what was to be an interview. Well, it didn't go so well. A little awkward. Host Luke Burbank emphasized "we love this band" but that this could have been "the worst interview in the history of electronic media."

You be the judge:

Sigur Ros' new album, Hvarf/Heim, is due November 6th. Get a taste on their MySpace page.

In other awkward interview news, New York Magazine has compiled "The Ten Most Incomprehensible Bob Dylan Interviews of All Time"—complete with YouTube clips.

Brightblack Morning Light

Hologram Buffalo

"Recorded entirely under solar power," Brightblack Morning Light like things like tee-pees, headbands and most likely hallucinogenic drugs. More solar power to 'em. Their second album of slow motion hippie blues, Motion to Rejoin, is due September 23rd on Matador. [DOWNLOAD]

Rook

Consider Rook essential summer listening. Like your "Summer Reading" list, Rook isn't really "summer-y" at all. It's heavy, dense, dramatic and beautiful and dark. Four of those five adjectives actually DO apply to summer, come to think of it... - jimtarnation [READ REVIEW]
