Sigur Ros & Steindor Andersen - Rímur EP

Woo. More post rock. And Urban throws up in his mouth a little. Fans of the Heima documentary will recognize this.

Well this isn't your traditional post rock. Sigur Ros is the name you'll recognize, but they are not the stars here. Steindor Andersen, another Icelander, steals the show with gorgeous viking chants sung over the top of ambient instrumentation reminiscent of Von or Agaetis. Over the band, Andersen's slow, deep voice is a wonderful contrast to Jonsi's crooning falsetto. The EP runs 6 tracks and about 26 minutes and I prefer it to all Sigur Ros albums but Agaetis and ().

Skip forward to like 2:30
