Rímur EP

Sigur Rós

Traditional Icelandic chanting meets stark, minimalist post-rock. A raw, haunting collaboration recorded in beautiful, dusty intimacy.

An ancient, weathered solemnity that feels both cold and deeply comforting.

Moments Worth Listening For
The stark contrast on the opening track when Steindor Andersen's dry, unadorned baritone chant is suddenly enveloped by a warm, bowed acoustic guitar swell.
The brief, chilling isolation of track 2 where the vocals are left completely unaccompanied, sounding like a transmission from another century.
The slow, hypnotic instrumental build on track 5 that gently carries the traditional vocal melody into modern post-rock territory.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
