About
Sigur Rós, Icelandic post-rock landscape with ethereal soundscapes since 1994.
13 vinyl titles including limited LP editions and Record Store Day releases; iconic albums command a premium among collectors.
Sigur Rós emerged from Iceland’s capital in early 1994, quickly establishing themselves within the post-rock and ambient scenes. Over a discography featuring 13 vinyl releases, the band evolved from the intimate textures of their debut into expansive sonic landscapes. Known for recording in unique locations, including a repurposed swimming pool studio, Sigur Rós experiments with unconventional techniques like singing in a constructed language called Vonlenska.
Their albums balance atmospheric instrumentation with rock and electronic elements, featuring lengthy compositions spanning over 7 to 10 minutes each.
