This fifth full-length album from the Icelandic post-rock heroes, whose title translates as ‘With A Buzz In Our Ears We Play Endlessly’, is the follow-up to their double EP set ‘Hvarf’/'Heim’ from 2007. Working for the first time with an outside producer - the famed Flood (U2, Depeche Mode, Smashing Pumpkins) - they have made the most joyous, exuberant, widescreen record of their career, as well as performing a songin English for the first time. Includes the free, download-only single ‘Gobbledigook’.[Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust]

Formed in 1994, this experimental Icelandic group first came to mainstream attention with the release of their second album, Agaetis Byrjun, and in particular the single Svefn-g-englar.

Combining the traditional instruments of the rock band with some novel playing techniques, they manage to create an incredibly fragile, complex and unique sound, with a sparseness and atmosphere that evokes strong imagery of their homeland.

The band’s third album, cryptically entitled ( ), contained the song Untitled 4, which many will recognise as the music which tracked Tom Cruise’s gravity-defying leap in the film Vanilla Sky.

More recently the band recorded and performed original music for a modern dance piece, Split Sides, which was produced by legendary New York choreographer Merce Cunningham.[more info]
