Icelandic group collaborate with spatial audio team Loss><Gain on Oxford residency.

Sigur Rós is an Icelandic post-rock band formed in 1994 in Reykjavík. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Jón Þór "Jónsi" Birgisson, bassist Georg Hólm, and keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson. The group is known for their ethereal sound, Jónsi's falsetto vocals, and their use of bowed guitar. Their music incorporates classical and minimal aesthetic elements. Jónsi's vocals are performed in Icelandic and non-linguistic vocalisations that the band refers to as Vonlenska. Sigur Rós has released eight studio albums, with their second album, Ágætis byrjun, attracting significant critical and commercial attention.

Icelandic group collaborate with spatial audio team Loss><Gain on Oxford residency.

The collaborative project with conductor Robert Ames wraps up this September.

The band will collaborate with local orchestras across Europe and the UK in support of their latest album 'ÁTTA'.

The Icelandic artist's fourth solo album, due August 30th, features two lead singles, 'Flicker' and 'Cherry Blossom'.

Sigur Rós surprise-released ‘ÁTTA’, their first new album in a decade, on Friday. Like a lot of music nowadays, its creation was a reaction to how bleak everything feels right now. “When we do this, we always talk about each album as if it might be the last,” the group’s vocalist Jónsi said in a statement. “We’re always thinking about climate change, doom-scrolling and going to hell”. Cheery stuff, right?

It comes as the band are in the process of writing and recording their first new studio album since 2013’s 'Kveikur'.

The band announced the new community via their Instagram, giving fans “free and permanent” access to an official Discord.

They'll play shows in Mexico, Canada and the United States, with more to follow soon.

The free performance will take place on 9th July.
