Sigur Ros new album cover
In a recent press release the Icelandic post rockers Sigur Ros have disclosed a significant deal of details, concerning the band’s upcoming album. Apparently their fifth full studio album “Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust,” which in English would translate to “With a buzz in our ears we play endlessly,” will land in record store’s shelves some time in late June. To be more exact, the follow-up to 2005’s Takk comes out in the UK June 23 via EMI and in North America June 24 via XL. The album’s first single “Gobbledigook,” will debut on BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe‘s program later today, and then will be available via free download on the band’s website at 2:30 p.m. EST. The video for the single will also be available later today.
The list of musicians, who contributed to Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, making includes among others: string quartet Amiina, the London Sinfonietta, the London Oratory Boy’s Choir, and a five-piece brass section. Pre-orders start on Sigur Rós’ website on June 2, and all pre-orders come with a download of the album a week before its physical release. Also available for pre-order on that date is the deluxe edition of the record, featuring a “making of” book and a movie, which will be released later this year.
