Thread is needed.
If anyone on here doesn't know them, you really should.
Sigur makes the world a better place.

I've liked everything I've ever heard that's based in Iceland. The music is so soothing.

Mum, also from Iceland, is another band in the same vein.

Check out this music video:

Yeah man that is sweet.
Just got 'Go go smear the poison ivy' so I'll give the whole album a shot.

I've been listening to Ólöf Arnalds a heap lately.



She reminds me of Joana.

Fuck Bjork is a boss though!

i'm really getting into icelandic post-rock lately. aside from sigur ros and mum, amiina is pretty excellent

Amiina are excellent.
Check out For a Minor Reflection, for a population of what, 150,000, fuck they have some fantastic musicians.
It seems, if you're from Iceland, you're naturally artistic.

Should probably re-name thread to 'Icelandic Music' haha, I guess ultimately that was my main point.

[oddfuckingtravis]

Bjork is amazing.



oh yeah, Sigur Ros is cool too.

Used to love Sigur Ros heaps - still do, don't listen as much anymore. If anyone needs any post-rock recommendations just ask me, been listening to it pretty heavily for years.

Just got home, let me chill for a bit and I'll get a bit of a list/links/youtube vids in a bit.

bumping the thread cause of valtari and the live stream, have you already heard it?

[Sweet Leaf]

Amiina and múm are fantastic, and I love everything Sigur Rós has done up to and including Tákk.

[BasedPatrician]

I just starting checking Sigur Ros out lately, I'm really liking it so far.

[BCH]

Guess who's fucking from Iceland?

This guy.

Post Rock > a lot of things

[Sweet Leaf]

A couple things I hate about 'post-rock':
- The genre name, so fucking dumb.
- It's hard to find really good, different post-rock, so much of it can just be bundled and considered the same band.

Now don't get me wrong, I fucking love post-rock, but there should just be some more artists that stand out, like Olafur Arnalds.

Mum, also from Iceland, is another band in the same vein.

Mum and Sigur Ros are both awesome, 'green grass of tunnel' by Mum was my most played for a long time.

Can't believe no one's posted Jonsi's solo stuff in this thread.

I'm not gonna post it, you have to find it yourself as a punishment.
