Another fun part about having a music blog - going from Backstreet to Sigur Ros. I'm not sure I could have picked any further of opposites. This is a shoutout to my former follower Rick, who claims he didn't drop the blog and the blog dropped him. Crazy, I know. But he played this album over the weekend and maybe this will convince him to read on a more regular basis. These guys are an Icelandic band that has hmm, kind of a classical/melodic/minimalist type feel to it. Very soothing, very calming and very neat. After I heard this once, I had to listen to it again on my own with just my phones on - not any other background noise. Totally different feel to it than when it was on in the car with other stuff going on. I jumped on the bandwagon too late though, since in January of this hear they announced a hiatus - to spend time with family and work on solo stuff. The old stuff is still new to me though, and they have five studio albums in total. If you're curious, this album title translates to: "With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly". That's pretty cool. Bottom line, this is extremely captivating music. If you're not even the slightest bit intrigued, I'd honestly be stunned. This album has me craving more, and I will do just that - keep listening. I love the feel of the album, I love how it's got a classical mood to it - yet it's not. I feel like you could put this on to work, to study, to jam around the house and in the car to drive. Any record that's good for all those thing, it a-okay with me. Big time check it out B Siders. I think you'll enjoy it.
