Sigur Ros, pronounced "Sigger Ross" are from Iceland, which isn't really a country at all, rather a colony set up by an alien race years ago (just look at Bjork). This being the case it's more than safe to say that the music they produce is, well, unique. Horn sections, string arrangements, organs and overdriven guitars all flow together to form this strangely beautiful album. Comparisons have been made to Radiohead's "new" sound or Spiritualized, which is reasonable. File it under "Kid A" and buy it instead of Amnesiac.
