Snori Sturlson, we hardly knew thee.
One of several reasons why Sigur Ros kicks arse, which was apleasant surprise. I always have a soft-spot for bands that provide downloads on their sites, especially if the band's songs are not exactly being flogged to death on the radio. I like to imagine some bizzare Icelandic wilderness, where goatherds and sheperdesses flee the wilely influence of the elves and wights, and all across the meadows and hot-springs float the strains of Njosnavelin and Hyperballad.
It is my deepest hope that, somewhere in Iceland, there stands a mountain or precipice ever scoured by winds, overshadowed by a leaden sky and with the occasional clap of thunder, autumn leaves whipped about a sparse, grassy tundra, and in the midst of the grinding surf below a small colony of gannets has made its home in a hill of verdegrised spoons and old cake trays.
No doubt I would be sorely disappointed.

I gather this is an act of flagrant self-promotion. If so, it is very 70s, yet enjoyable.
70's YET enjoyable? What's that supposed to mean, huh?
Exactly what it sounds like. Actually, the second track was very 80s, yet enjoyable. Good show.
