Reviewgium - Volume I, issue XVIII
This is an EP/DVD package from Icelandic post-rock band Sigar R?s based on the "S?gl?pur" single from the previously released album, Takk.... The songs on this EP, as most other songs by the band, are uplifting and imaginative, relying heavily on instrumental passages and backgrounds that include piano, strings, chimes, and often abrupt, heavy guitar sections. Also, the majority of the lyrics are in the contrived Hopelandic language, an innovative gimmick of the band that seems to be kind of hit-or-miss with listeners.
The CD half of the package features a slightly extended version of the title track, and three new songs. These include "Refur," a slow, instrumental piano melody; "? Fridur," a harmonious track that uses piano, winds, and strings to seemingly create a musical equivalent of walking through a large country meadow during a spring rainshower; and "Kafari," a charming, percussive song that, for me, seems to continue the theme of "? Fridur" as if--walking through that rainy meadow--you discovered a pristine brook in its midst that no one ever knew was there.
The DVD contains three videos for the songs "S?gl?pur," "Hoppipolla," and "Gl?s?li," all three of which are very good, and the latter of which is nothing short of spectacular. The thing that makes these better than typical music videos is that they actually CONTRIBUTE artistically to the music, and their ambiguous imagery leaves a lot to the imagination of the viewer.
I assume that most dedicated Sigur R?s fans already have this release, and if not, it is definitely worth picking up. If you have never heard of Sigur R?s, they are definitely worth looking into if you are in the mood for something different. I would suggest starting with one of their full-length releases before buying this, but if you become a fan of the band, you definitely should not miss out on this package.
