Sigur Rós Makes a Mesmerizing Comeback with 'ÁTTA' and "Blóðberg".
TL;DR
After a ten-year hiatus, Icelandic band Sigur Ros returns with their new album "Atta". The album features soaring, swelling orchestral sounds with a distant choir-like sound and a backward, sped-up voice flitting wordlessly. The album is intended to be heard in one long stream and ebbs and flows like a time-lapse nature video. The amorphous and vaguely defined nature of the album makes it something you can explore again and again and still find something you hadn’t noticed.
