About
Best known for ethereal and atmospheric post-rock, Sigur Rós's seventh studio album, <i>Kveikur</i>, makes a bold departure from that sound in favor of tracks that are darker, heavier, and louder. Filled with industrial crunches, cymbal crashes, and moody synths, <i>Kveikur</i> is both stunningly aggressive and intricate. The band's signature sounds—Jonsi's featherweight falsetto and bowed guitar—ring out across each song like a church bell in a thunderstorm. The impenetrable weight of tracks like "Brennistein" makes its uplifting songs ("Stormur," "Rafstraumur") glow with transcendent warmth. All told, <i>Kveikur</i> is an exceptional achievement—simultaneously harrowing, heavy, and beautiful.
