Sigur Rós

sigur rós were formed by jónsi, georg and the former drummer ágúst in 1994. they were later joined by kjartan and, when ágúst left the band, orri. sigur rós hail from iceland, and rightly claim to bring you the beautiful landscape of their homeland with their music; they create a remarkable sound considering the basic instruments used. jónsi often uses a cello bow to play his guitar, resulting in an effects-laden, atmospheric, totally unique sound. his voice is a falsetto somewhere between thom yorke and a choir boy.
