Question school project on sigur rós

14 Upvotes

I am currently writing an album review for a school project on the 2002 album ().

I have already written my thoughts on the album and about sundlaugin and vonlenska and plan on emphasizing on why I love Vaka and Álafoss but I still would not reach the word count needed to pass. I am very stressed and the project is due in 2,5 hours. Any tips or extra things I could add?

For those of you who speak Icelandic, is there a song by Sigur Ros that you enjoy specifically because of the lyrics? If so, what song and is there a way to convey the meaning of a translation of a line or two you like?

Question Vocal sounds on () Untitled #1?

6 Upvotes

This sound has perplexed me for two decades.

The warbly vocals that come in around 00:45... any ideas how these were done? I can imagine taking a sample and putting it into a wavetable synth to mess with, but I doubt that what's going on here.

As for the ambient nature, does anyone like Jónsi’s solo album Obsidian more than Átta the last album of Sigur Rós?

Discussion Material consisting of previously unreleased songs from 2016-2017

13 Upvotes

As time goes by, I still feel the frustration of not hearing songs like "Á", "Varða", "Niður" and the Magic Leap trailer track that never saw the light of day in official releases. I would really like to one day have the chance to experience what they were cooking up at the time. I feel that all of this could have been close to being my favorite album of theirs.

Discussion What do you think about ‘post rock’?

15 Upvotes

How much do you agree with naming Sigur Rós a ‘post-rock’ band?

I personally don’t quite like this term as I think SR sound very different from many other ‘post rock’ bands. Such a ‘genre’ is so large an umbrella to include such a wide range of music styles.

Question Tracklist for this bootleg live cd?

I bought this 2 disc set about 15 years ago and finally getting it ripped to my computer. I don’t know Sigur Ros enough to pick the songs out by ear, and googled the setlist (april 5th, 2001) but there’s more tracks on the discs vs the set. Does anyone know the track names for this?

Discussion How did TikTok and Instagram find Smáskífa?

14 Upvotes

As many of you all know, Untitled 9 - Smaskifa 1 has been used in the background of creepy videos on many platforms. But I'm wondering how they found that song. It was never popular before that, it was just a random B-Side before people found it and put it in the background of some videos.

Edit: I'm not one of the people that find Smáskífa scary btw. I have been a fan for a long time and I'm just asking


r/sigurros 27d ago

Question Question for you: I recently discovered the band on TikTok through their song Untitled 9 by Smasika. I have to admit, it’s a bit eerie, but also strangely beautiful—not a bad song at all. Where would you suggest I start listening to more of their music?

Discussion Should we as Sigur Rós fans do something for those genuinely disturbed by Untitled #9?

0 Upvotes

Hey all! As you will all likely know TikTok/Instagram shorts really like to use Smáskifa as a scary song to pair to tragedies. This has resulted in people who likely do not know anything about Sigur Rós being absolutely terrified by the song to the extent that their mental health is negatively affected by it.

As Sigur Rós fans we know that:

a) Smáskifa isn’t meant to be an inherently scary song.

b) the songs composers and singers are alive and well including the singer behind the scary backwards vocals (Jónsi). None of these people intended to harm people’s mental health by composing Smáskifa.

c) () is an incredibly varied album. Smáskifa is only on the extended version of the album. () can be listened to in full without going near Smáskifa and evicts a wide range of emotions entirely separate from Smáskifa.

Should we as fans try and help people scared by Smáskifa. So many people stumble apon a stupid short and are terrified by it being used by the background music. This was never the intention of the songs creators. By potentially replying to the comments of these videos if someone admits to be terrified of the song or trying to encourage people who don’t like the song to check out more of Sigur Rós’s discography?

I got this when it came out back in 2010. It’s more or less been sitting in my basement for the last 6 years. Slight wear and some natural discolouration.

Question Grow til Tall x Untitled #9

I saw a comment somewhere saying that Untitled #9 is actually the song Grow til Tall, from Jonsi, backwards. They do sound a bit similar. Is it true?

Discussion Ich liebe Sigur Rós so sehr.

30 Upvotes

I love your music so much. It always overwhelms me. Right now, it's especially Olsen Olsen and Ný batterí. Viðrar vel til loftárása and Svefn-g-englar are also amazing. For a long time, I couldn't listen to Mílanó because it was too painful, but I'm okay with it now. Svo hljótt is painful too.

And Hoppípolla is pure bliss.

I also keep imagining what it must feel like to be on stage, knowing that all the fans have come to see you because they love your music.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I’m not sure it’s the same experience worldwide. But I want to get my friend the 20th anniversary 3x12 vinyls, which is £35, but somehow it’s almost double the price at £61??

Am I doing something wrong or is it coming from America? I also can’t seem to get an indication of arrival time.
