Free Music Review: Set the controls for the heart of ... Iceland?
Hit: 4 Stars
The material on this CD is some of thier sparser, slower-tempo, morose, moody, darker material compared to, say, Takk. As such, this CD requires a few more listens to get under your skin. Some of the tracks, such as four, and eight, have a prog- space-rock vibe going, languishing at a slow burn, evocative of early-seventies Pink Floyd or OK Computer/Kid A -era Radiohead.
This CD does lack the warmth and emotion, again, found on Takk, but if you prefer atmosphere and mystery, then this album has lots of it.
( ) Poster
Are Iceland's Sigur R?s the saviors of 21st-century rock or true heirs to the silk-robed-and-platform-booted, pompous progressive rock of the '70s? On their third album (first for a major label), they are a little bit of both. The group continues to mix the most interesting aspects of U2 (the anthem), Low (the maximalist slow-mo thing), Radiohead (the utter lack of irony in the quest to make meaningful art for stadium crowds), and My Bloody Valentine (guitar as texture), while not sounding like anyone else on this planet. The average song length on the eight untitled tracks is eight minutes, with cascades of moaning, bowed guitars colliding with low-end keyboards while the lovely, alien-registered vocals of singer J?nsi float on top. Dynamics are employed spectacularly, but half of the album is spooky soundtrack music that never really goes anywhere. However, the actual songs on Two Sausages Kissing (or whatever you want to call it)--the third, sixth, eighth, and especially fourth tracks--are mind-blowers, spectacularly worth the price of admission. If they just stopped trying to reinvent the wheel all the time, Sigur R?s could really be a band for the ages. --Mike McGonigalAlternative Rock Music CDs
