Thought I’d introduce my new blog with some inspired music, and accompanying video. I recently caught one of my favorite bands, from one of my favorite parts of the world. Sigur Ros performed at an amazing venue in Washington Heights, called the United Palace Theater at 175th and Broadway.

I remember hearing an interview in a film about the Icelandic music scene. The artist stated that the reason it’s so different, is that they could be as free as they wanted, because they didn’t have to worry about record sales. With the population of the whole country at around 380,000, a hit record means around 80,000 copies sold. Not much incentive to bend to the will of any record label executive.

This band puts as much imagination into their video as they do their music. Here’s a version of Glosoli. Enjoy.
