Sigur Rós have premiered the second-to-last music video from their ongoing “Mystery Film Experiment.”
New Folk Tuesday
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - Here
Sigur Rós - Valtari
The Walkmen - Heaven
Valtari, Sigur Rós’ first album in four years, is a collection of moodily gorgeous, slow-paced sound-washes. With the notable and remarkable exception of “Varúð,” which builds to a crashing climax in the spirit of the band’s recent classic “Festival,” little here deviates from the absorbing minor-key gloom of albums like 2002’s ( ).

Folker of the Week: Sigur Rós
Sigur Rós was the folker of the week awhile back but I never got the chance to make the post. They recently came out with their live album/dvd, INNI, and announced that they will have a new record ready for 2012. Which got me excited enough to name them the folker of the week!
