Von

Seventy-five minutes of murky, experimental post-rock and dark ambient drift. A raw, tape-hiss-shrouded debut that sounds like a cold Icelandic winter night.

Find on Amazon

Low hums and tape hiss drift through these dark, ambient soundscapes like a freezing wind. You are left wandering a vast, unfinished basement of cold static and raw, beautiful noise.

How does Von sound next to the rest of Sigur Rós's catalogue?

Lo Fi+3.7σ

This debut embraces a raw, tape-hissed lo fi aesthetic that stands apart from their later polished epics, capturing a young band finding their footing through murky, unvarnished home recordings.
