Takk takk…

Yesterday I suddenly realised that we have hardly written about sigur rós on Noisedfisk. No introduction needed, though… I missed the gig they played in Paris a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately, but they will tour the world next October and November. And this time, I won’t miss them, promise.

In other news, they will release a new album september 12th, it will be entitled “takk” which is, as you probably know, the icelandic word for “thanks”. And I was particularly touched by this quote from jónsi about “takk”, courtesy of nme: “it’s a bit more happy, with a bit more hope in it. the lyrics are small adventures, maybe like children’s stories or something. i think the songs are quite simple and naí¯ve and they have a central character to them. there’s one called glósóli, and he wakes up and everything is dark outside and he can’t see any light. he thinks that the sun is gone and somebody has taken it from the sky, so he makes a journey to look for the sun. he finds it in the end.”

Yummy! I just can’t wait…
