Ágætis Byrjun by Sugur Ros

Sigur Ros is a band I discovered by accident.

At a time, I was very much into bands such as Rage Against the Machine and The Deftones, I was walking around a record store looking for something a little darker. Never really been into heavy, but have always been fond of dark, when I saw this;


A flat black cover with a pale blue drawing of an angle fetus. I knew straight away I needed this in my playlist.

Being a music lover, I know that if you like the cover, give it a listen to. You might actually enjoy the music.
This philosophy could not ever have been more true when it came to "Sugar Ros". It was hauntingly beautiful. Like nothing I have heard before.
I could not afford to buy the album at the time,  but went straight home to listen to anything I could find on My Space.

Within about 2 years they reached some form of international fame, which meant some friends where listening to their music too.

Here is one of their songs. They have many I would like to play for you. But you can find out more about Sigur Ros here.
