sigur rós' fifth,


icelandic sigur rós are to release their 5th studio album "Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust" (with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly) on june 23rd.

the quartet have released the track "gobbledigook" for free download on their website. you can hear it below.

renound for their spectacular live performances, the group will be headlining scotland's connect festival in august, hopefully along with the orchestra they've brought on previous tours. i'll be going if i have the money come the end of the summer.

if you haven't seen it yet, check out the beautiful documentary "heima", that charts the lead up to rós returning home to play a series of free gigs in iceland and celebrates the majesty of the mysterious country.
