SIGUR ROS — Takk...

"Fourth album all written, performed & produced by the band with Ken Thomas at their studio in Iceland "is the record to justify every amazing claim ever laid at this exceptional band's door..Huge and intimate, orchestral and gossamer-light, rich layered and essentially simple, Takk... is a work of a band operating at the very top of their game. It accomplishes what maybe they havent done since they first appeared, which is to make the avant-garde appear to be straight ahead pop music, or, perhaps more accurately, invest pop music with a sense of magic long since lost in the mists of time and imagination (not that they sound anything like any music made back in any mythical musical heyday). An instant classic, & might well turn out to be Sigur Ros's masterpiece." [label info]
