Beauty

Has there been a more beautiful piece of music released in the 21st century than 'Olsen Olsen' by Sigur Ros off the 2000 album Agaetis Byrjun? Why haven't I got into this band before? I think I like to keep in touch with newness but I missed this group totally. They are fabulous. Surely the world's leading rockband? Any american bloggers reading this should get along to a screening of their new film 'Heima' in NYC on 19 November. I am sure there are other showings too.

Are they a throwback or something new? Well there are obvious influences but there is nothing like them. They even sing in an invented language.
