Jónsi - Obsidian (Full Album Stream)

[@fdasjrfewklew433]

If there is ever a human spirit that captures the beauty and mystery of existence on this planet and universe, it is you Jonsi.

[@Oweniyo]

Didn't see this coming..excited

[@annu__music]

I am so grateful I was able to experience many of these tracks via Jónsi's stunning art installation in NYC last week. Sitting in the darkness with my eyes closed in the center of a circle of, what seemed like, hundreds of speakers, I heard and felt these tracks in a way not replicable via my studio speakers. After at least 25 minutes, I left the fist floor exhibit hall with tears streaming down my face. I slowly ascended up the stairs to the second installation for a true synesthetic experience, again with eyes closed, as lights flashed in front of my lids and Jónsi's ethereal voice carried me to other worlds. After ten minutes, I left the room and visited his paintings, which sang to me through hidden speakers behind them. It was clear that Jónsi was translating the beauty of Iceland, the shock and breakdown of volcanic eruption, and the gentle reprieve of nature's rebirth. It was a beautiful metaphor for the way we carry out our lives, grieve, grow, and heal. I'm so grateful to have witnessed this album in such a profound way.

Wow, that sounds amazing, in NYC? Damm, gotta go back soon... I’ve just been sent here by the algorithm!😸👍😉

[@annu__music]

@@johannahidalgo7738 Yessss! I'm actually headed back in two weeks and can't wait to re-experience it. My plan is to go as soon as the doors open, assuming no one else will be there :). Its best if it's completely silent otherwise, and no one opens the curtains to let in any light! :D

[@johannahidalgo7738]

Jesus Christ "Obsidian" made me cry so much harder than I have in a long time. it felt very healthy. thank you so much, Jónsi.

[@everytongueconfess]

I remember hearing Sigur Ros about 16 years ago. I'm 34 now and I'm still floored by Jonsi's angelic music.

[@runawhitley3277]

12 years ago I had 6 grand mal seizures back to back which left me in a dark fog of confusion and chaos - it was Jonsi's music (Sigur Ros) that helped to pull me out. Hearing his voice quieted the chaos and brought peace when I could not find it on my own. In the years since, I have not had another grand mal and usually listen to very different music, yet each time I hear his voice I am reminded of the calm he brought when no medication could. I am forever grateful and so happy to hear this album. Tusen tack, Jonsi.

[@taipoxin]

My god. Never have I clicked on something in my recommended that has left me speechless for an artist I had not heard before. What a magical journey this one put me through. It's like everything I needed this morning that I was completely not expecting.

[@jayrhodes3766]

I can’t tell you how much this made me just sit and not have any worry in my head. There was no negative self-talk. Just pure, well, beauty. I thought of my grandparents who gave long since passed. I thought of my pup who also is gone from this world. Wow.

[@nicozulu5746]

Jonsi’s music is forever and inexplicably tied to my journey on this earth. This album comes at a time when I needed it the most. Thank you for the constant magic. 🐋💙

I have been listening to this every day for five days and often more than once in a day. Listening again tonight. My heart and soul feel heard while I also feel others. Thank you, Jonsi.

[@themoonlighthuntress7065]

Wow..I truly feel like I've transcended to a realm beyond this earth...This is absolute HEAVEN to listen to and from someone who suffers from chronic anxiety issues it really calms and just allows me to slow down and just think through my imagination and to just drift away into another universe....absolutely wonderful, Thank you so much for this gorgeous music! 💖

[@alanlegge696]

This is one of the most moving musical and visual experiences I have ever witnessed. Mind totally blown !

[@privatecollectedvideotutorials]

Thankyou, Jónsi ❤ for the beautiful music you compose! First time when I listened the album few months ago I was shocked, somehow went deep into the unknown depths of the body creating a sense of physical world disappearance. Your music help me a lot in dark gloomy moments and leads me somewhere to a brighter shamanic journey.

[@YouNeedToHearThis]

I mean this as a massive compliment; this could have been released as a Sigur Ros album. I has 'that' sound vs. your first two solo albums which were fairly large departures stylistically from your recent Sigur Ros work. I like your first two solo albums a lot, but this tickles my ears and brain the same way Sigur Ros does, and I suppose I like it more for that. Great album, what a pleasant surprise to see this released today. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@MrTachy0n]

If you haven't been following Sigur Ros tax issues lately with Icelandic govt it could explain why not arbitrary

[@luiscartaxeiro54]

Since 2004!!! When i first listen to Glosoli i was stuck on the TV and thought… amizing!! 17 years afterwards continues… takk Jonsi , takk Sigur Ros…come again to Portugal! Me and my daughter will see you again! She’s now 17… and her first concert with you was on 2013 when she was 8 years old!!!

[@Dywrektor]

Always happy to see new music by Jónsi!

[@thomasbrooks5370]

Ambrox has me choked up already. Love this so far

[@beenforet5391]

I am a scent artist too. When this music was suggested to me, I was actually musing on a blend that I am making that includes vetiver. The Vetiverol piece was revealing. Thank you. And the Cypriol piece...amazing!

[@BobGuido]

Jónsi & Paul, I listened to the entire album and it's my favorite album since Valtari which is one of my favorite albums of all time. Incredible work! At times it's reminiscent of Sigur Rós, Riceboy Sleeps and Jónsi "Go" and then takes it all somewhere new.

[@shibbyzoltan]

Same here!

[@Chad-qr7ke]

Valtari was such an underrated album!

[@BobGuido]

@@Chad-qr7ke I never knew that Valtari was underrated. When I saw the band perform Valtari live in 2013 at Echo Beach in Toronto, they were at peak performance level as musicians. It was the best live show I've seen in my entire life. Jónsi's voice sounded as good as it does on the recording. His pitch and phrasing and dynamics were flawless. That is near impossible given how much energy it takes to sing as he does for two hours. Valtari was the evolution of everything the band and Alex Somers had recorded up until that point in time and it was the last time that Kjartan graced us with his contributions. He has been sorely missed ever since. Kjartan was such a tremendous melodic force behind the sounds on the most loved songs from Sigur Rós. When Jónsi and Kjartan resume working together, the clouds will part and the sun will rise between the two largest volcanoes in Iceland.

[@Megaradnomad]

@@BobGuido Takk ... has a special place in my heart as it was my introduction to Sigur Ros. Still LOVE that album, but there is something incredibly special about Valtari. Their tour supporting that album was the first time I was able to see Sigur Ros live. Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide, Australia. Was pretty special. I also saw them at Echo Beach in 2017, unfortunately didn't feel it as much as the other shows. Seeing them at Fox Theatre in Detroit 2016 was an incredible experience, but yeah, post Kjartan, so still not quite the same.

[@Megaradnomad]

That said .. This Obsidian album I am LOVING!

over an hour's worth of such powerful soundscapes and tones. It sounds amazing!

[@richiehenrydrums]

Man, what an absolute pleasure. It's a single experience all on its own, but I still feel I'll be cherry picking a few of these to become ole reliables. It's finding freedom in an immersive dark - the brightness of letting go. Drifting "away", but also eternally "into". Thanks for this.

whoa super stoked!!

[@Currently-lostLAS]

Just curious… I’ve had to do ketamine treatments for treatment resistant mental illness and when I do the ketamine infusions I listen to Sigur Ros/Jonsi. Has anyone else tried this? It is difficult to explain but it’s like transcending all boundaries, physical and spiritual, to become everything. I have often felt the most sincere connection to all living. Then the treatment ends but the feelings I get from listening to this music continue to replicate what I felt while on ketamine. It’s completely and utterly beautiful.

[@euriconeto2790]

Já até baixei, mas vou escutar por completo ainda. Enquanto eu estava fazendo o download de música por música, conseguia ouvir partes das músicas e tipo, nossa, super atmosférico, bem Reykjavik, bem a cara do Jónsi e do Alex. Parabéns pelo novo álbum Jónsi! ✌

[@jestinjund]

I went into this thinking it might not be what I'm looking for right now (based on Go, other Jonsi solo stuff...which I love, I'm just not looking for a super upbeat album right now) but came out very pleasantly surprised. This is exactly what I wanted for this time of year. I really hope this album gets some traction because it is fantastic!
