When I read all the comments here…Sigur made something with our minds…we heal, we cry…feel ourselves for a long time again…If I ever meet Jonsi…I will thank him gratefully for all these emotions he brought us…

[@jaysea5939]

Sigur Rós music always makes me feel simultaneously depressed and hopeful. Their music is beautiful.

[@backintheday5350]

Lol me too!❤️

[@abhinavmohan2657]

I thought it was just me who felt like that 😅

[@SeelenTaucher]

They Touch Humans Souls 💝

[@DanFoxDavies]

Encapsulated wistfulness.

[@rachelh-j5006]

This is a total "eh" piece [english pronunciation ""hey" with a silent H]. The "eh"; it is at the same time heartbreaking, hopeful, sad, endearing and tragic, as well as the most profound feeling of love and joy of life. The "eh" is hard to explain, because I still haven't found a word in English that describes this emotion. It's the reason I cannot see animals in pain , or even watch them prancing in joy on a screen. Why I get tearful watching a mother and daughter eating ice cream silently together as I'm walking into the grocery store. It's coming a bit close to the impermanence of life, and not really knowing how to deal ... hence the slow breath out .. the eh....

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

The soundtrack of the apocalypse.

[@honorcuthbertson4616]

My son died 3 months ago. This song/album reflects my inner despair and heartache.

[@Keytaster]

Ten years... I've waited ten years for this!!! I'm literally crying right now. Their music helped me through so much pain in my life. I cannot express in words how much this means to me...

[@AFormerClarity1]

Dude, halfway through it and I started crying. It's so beautiful. Their music has saved me so many times and we have the privilege for more music now.

How is it possible that Sigur Rós has the ability to compose music so delicate, so fragile and at the same time it can make the most indifferent soul cry?

[@claireforever100]

I've been listening to music since the 60s and there has never been a band like Sigur Ros. Their music is sublime. Their live shows are sensational. They are totally unique. One of the highlights of my life was introducing them to my girlfriend, who now is as obsessed by them as me. Utterly superb band

[@zeilian]

finally some uplifting music 😭 but seriously: it perfectly encapsulates the dread of knowing that we're sliding into a catastrophe and absolutely nothing is being done about it. in a way it perfectly represents our future: a hot, dying earth which grows mostly inhabitable for people living on it. it's a truly moving piece of art

[@sergiosaunier]

Mate, I almost spilt my drink here.

[@aeslein]

Only the old world will die and earth will heal ❤

[@stellarocquie7957]

LIVING on it? They all look pretty dead and decomposed, to me.

[@AlanRoeske]

The lyrics are mostly about homesickness but being too hurt to go home. About the farce of being famous, putting on a show despite it all. Wanting to go home but "ekki nu, ekki nu", "Not now, not now"

The only band that ever brought me to actual tears during a show. It was Beacon Theatre on the Takk tour. I was sobbing at the end, looked around me and everyone else was too.

[@darshanr2369]

I saw them on the previous ( ) tour and had the exact same experience. At the end of the show I didn’t just weep. I sobbed uncontrollably. And for years, I could barely manage tears. But that show tore something open inside of me.

[@seedthievery]

Wow. Breath: taken. That was the elegy for the earth, for all of us. May it not be a preview of what's to come.

[@MehmetM]

I've always loved how their music can evoke such deep feelings and storytelling without even knowing what the lyrics are...it takes my soul to internal places that are both nostalgic and melancholy yet peaceful and hopeful. Looking forward to seeing them for the 10th time this August...but this time with my 9 yr old daughter. An extra special milestone.

This is the most phenomenal song anyone has ever put out, i can't even find words to the sadness and comfort it brings as someone who for a long time has been hurt by the destruction humans are causing to this planet. After 2 months of regularly listening to this piece i still cry nearly every time.

[@laluna5177]

This is a very powerful video. It captures the feelings of my personal life at the moment, but also the state of the world. I'm failing to find adjectives to describe the feeling this video evokes.

[@Theolddaysaregone]

It's somewhat a feeling of coming doom but mixed with so much else. At least that's what I feel

[@abikt1782]

Impending doom, but leaving behind memories. It's melancholy to view, but the music gives a hidden "something" like, though we did this to ourselves, there were those who tried to stop it. Though we are gone and forgotten, the planet will live on. Well, that's what I got out of it anyway.

[@Sharkuterie327]

I’d say… expansive. Or soul-soothing.

[@Nieselregen]

I remember them fondly, 2008, Hurricane Festival. Insane music, a storm was raging to the right of the stage, the sky was purple and lightning was twitching out of dark clouds. We were lucky and stood in the sun. With goose bumps. The good old days.

[@SarahHorne1]

[@001jetman]

This sound, the loss, the wasted effort. Two years ago, I had hope on false hope. Strange, beautiful and deeply disturbing, how this describes efforts laid to waste and the melancholy that forever resides

[@apocalypso1564]

For me, this just shows the inevitability of time; we may hopefully turn the world's current situation around in our and nature's favour, but eventually, our golden moment in the starlight will end, and there's nothing we can do to stop it. Humanity is finite, and that's what this video speaks to me in a beautiful and accepting way.

I'm laying on my bed with my window open. Its a cosy evening, very warm outside with summer rain, so it smells wonderful outside, listening to the calming noise of raindrops falling on the trees. I slept in to youtube videos and this started automatically to play at some time. I literally thought and dreamed shortly that I died, a warm tickly feeling hit my body and my soul rose up to the stars in the universe... That was my personal magic moment of this year so far :) What a wonderful work of art, haunting, melancholic and beautiful

Funny, I was just listening to Kveikur while driving last night and wondered if we'd ever hear anything from Sigur Ros as a full band again.

[@NickFoxallvideo]

Haunting… one of the best music videos ever made.

[@jaybirch3169]

The title translates to "blood rock", so the video makes some sense! The last few minutes are very intense.

[@chefausi]

Blóðberg = Thyme or Timian (herb)

[@tiltingwindmill]

Google Translate does come up with Blood Rock. Thyme does have blöð (not blóð) in it, but I have no Icelandic verbal skills so I can't say one way or t'other. However, I'd say the video gives off Mars-like feelings, which quite literally is the blood rock of our solar system. For the moment, I'll go with Blood Rock until I can find some other good reason to accept Thyme or an herb.

[@crisart139]

Ojalá este video, que contiene las imágenes más terribles y la música maravillosa de Sigur Rós, llegue a todos los rincones de nuestro planeta. Y conmueva y haga reaccionar a los seres humanos, sobre el triste final que nos espera, si no hacemos algo HOY. Gracias.....😞

Brilliant. Sigur Rós has always composed and produced brilliant music. The kind of music you'd expect to be playing when your soul transcends this physical realm. I love the idea of the video, and it certainly goes well with the composition. I would have just done it backward: Start with the large group of deceased beings, progress with more spread-out deceased beings, and end with 2 still alive beings running away together to nail down the idea that there will always be hope as long as we have each other.

[@anselmoecheverria6342]

Después de una década completa sin lanzar disco, la banda islandesa Sigur Rós nos ha sorprendido con nuevo disco. "ÁTTA" se traduce del islandés como ocho. Es el octavo álbum de estudio de la banda y nos devuelve a su sonido más reconocible, con la voz de Jónsi y el sonido de las cuerdas, con esa música evocadora. Los tres compañeros de la banda: Jón Þór Birgisson (Jónsi) en la voz y la guitarra con arco de violonchelo junto con el regreso del multiinstrumentista Kjartan Sveinsson (Kjarri) y el bajista Georg Hólm (Goggi) han grabado este disco en los estudios Abbey Road, junto a la Orquesta Contemporánea de Londres y el director Robert Ames. De momento el álbum está disponible en plataformas digitales, para el formato físico habrá que esperar hasta el 1 de septiembre. Sus canciones se han preparado de forma obsesiva desde la pandemia, así que cada nota está meditada con absoluta pulcritud. Buscando intencionadamente una sensibilidad hipnótica. Diez temas. Sesenta minutos de duración, de una solemnidad inquebrantable, donde el nervio está medido al milímetro, con pasajes sonoros a la búsqueda de la belleza.y luminosos efectos electrónicos de una fragilidad sublime. Música independiente novedades.

[@LeventeZone]
