Icelanders on Stage in Belgium this Summer: Sigur Rós - Ólöf Arnalds & Ólafur Arnalds - Bang Gang

Even after the end of the Iceland on the Edge Festival in Brussels this year, Icelandic music is still hot in Belgium this summer.
First of all a Review of the 5th Sigur Rós Album "með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust" in Belgian HUMO Magazine By CV (I want to have that beer !).
The new Album sounds "trusty". But the CD is everything except a revision exercise.
“Við spilum endalaust” is een sharp song with powerfull climax provided by the windinstruments “
Gobbledigook” is even more radio-friendly, with even a lalala-chorus and a video full of nudists running like hippies through forests and fields
“Illgresi” is a folky ballad with in the end some strings
“Ára bátur” starts with 4 minutes of piano, followed by The London Sinfonietta and The London Oratory School Schola delivering the final orgasm
“All Alright” is Sigur Rós first song in English
