Sigur Rós Makes a Mesmerizing Comeback with 'ÁTTA' and "Blóðberg".

After a ten-year hiatus, Icelandic band Sigur Ros returns with their new album "Atta". The album features soaring, swelling orchestral sounds with a distant choir-like sound and a backward, sped-up voice flitting wordlessly. The album is intended to be heard in one long stream and ebbs and flows like a time-lapse nature video. The amorphous and vaguely defined nature of the album makes it something you can explore again and again and still find something you hadn’t noticed.

Sigur Rós Returns with First Album in 10 Years: Átta.

Icelandic band Sigur Rós has released its first album in a decade, ÁTTA, which features the sound of strings surrounding the voice of Jónsi. The bandmates reunited in Jónsi's basement before heading to Abbey Road studios to record with the London Contemporary Orchestra and conductor Robert Ames. The album has a heavy but hopeful feel, with Jónsi describing it as a response to the doom and gloom of current events. The band has been together for 28 years and has a unique ability to communicate without talking, allowing their music to come from somewhere above and become a song.
