Scrapping finished full length to make some babies (AKA solo projects) places Sigur Rós on the indefinite hiatus list. Why is it always the good bands?
.
Wow, this is not the kind of news I wanted to wake up and post. One of our favorite bands Sigur Rós is now on indefinite hiatus. Usually when you see indefinite hiatus you can translate that into broke up but with a little wiggle room just in case something changes. Another one of our favorite bands, At The Drive-In, is about 10 years in into theirs right now. What makes this so weird is that the band had posted that the new record was almost done.
sigur rós have been at work in their sundlaugin studio in álafoss the past few weeks recording a full length album, which is now nearing completion. orri told morgunblaðið newspaper today that the recordings have been going very well and that the album is taking form as a slower and more ambient record than með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust and takk
According to Paste, Frontman Jónsi Birgisson recently told Spinner, “We haven’t got another [Sigur Rós] album ready. It was just a rumor. We started to record something, but then we chucked it all away. So I think we are going to have to start it all again.”
So now that the band has some free time, the question now is how to fill it. Easy, make some babies, duh! For vocalist Jonsi, his baby is a new solo project slated to come out this spring. Check out the track below from his upcoming solo album.
