Free Music Review: Sometimes EPs Work Best
Hit: 5 Stars
Sigur Ros continue to surprise me. Here on this EP, I believe they have written one of their most haunting and beautiful songs, O Fridur. While I like the EP as a whole and it works very well, it's O Fridur that stands out here. This song is nothing short of extraordinary. The string and overall song arrangements are quite sophisticated for such relatively young men. O Fridur's arrangement shimmers and flutters with haunting but beautiful and gentle tension. It's the type of song that plays in my head long after I've actually listened to it.
I think EPs are a great format. Sigur Ros certainly understand the art form of the EP and is a band that should release EPs more often. I would love to see them release new songs in box set of 5 or 6 EPs. I would think it would be difficult to place 10 to 12 songs together into a cohesive mix and obviously an EP allows a better chance at reaching continuity and thematic insight.
The song choices were impeccable and any omission of any one of these songs would have stripped this EP of its power and grace.
