Description
Pitchfork 8.1 explosive and action-packed
NME 4/5 Sigur Rós are at their blackest and most sinister, sounding not so much reborn as in the ferocious throes of an almighty exorcism.
Line of Best Fit 9/10 Neither the drums, guitars or synths are ever understated, lo-fi or polite throughout, theyre devastating, taking control of the bands poppier sensibilities and lighting vicious fires beneath them.
Kveikur is the seventh album by Sigur Rós, originally released on XL Recordings in June 2013. Completely out of print worldwide, the album will now be re-released on the bands own label, Krunk.
Described by the band as more aggressive than any of their previous work, Kveikur which means fuse or candle wick in the bands native Icelandic is heavier, both thematically and sonically. All of the lyrics are sung in Icelandic rather than the wordless Vonlenska (Hopelandic) as on ( ), providing a more grounded experience.
