The Simpsons will go to Iceland on May 19th! Sigur Rós music will also play on the episode! (story)
Brennisteinn EP with two bonus songs, finally available in North America:
Brennisteinn = “brimstone” (sample on youtube)
Hryggjarsúla = “backbone” (sample on youtube)
Ofbirta = “brightness” (sample on youtube)
► Sigur Rós - Ísjaki (Official Lyric Video)
► Sigur Rós - Glósóli (live in Toronto, 2013-03-30)
A long time coming but I thought I’d give it some time before re-living the experience.This video of course can’t do justice: you must really experience Sigur Rós live!

[EDIT] thanks to icelandiclanguage’s recommendation, I will go with Kveikur meaning “fuse” instead of “priming”.
BRENNISTEINN!
LET THE TOUR BEGIN!
