check out other icelandic bands then:
maus and minus aretwo of my favorites, maus definitely has a more melodic sound, places a lot of emphasis on the production of the music. Someone described sigur ross's new CD as "ambient", that's a great way to describe maus's stuff. here's a link to some songs of theirs, check them out:

minus's stuff is a lot heavier, pretty different from maus, but you can hear some similarities in their music, at least I can anyway. here's link to some of their songs:
