#sigurrós Sigur Rós, the renowned post-rock band from Iceland, has released their first new single since multi-instrumentalist Kjartan “Kjarri” Sveinsson rejoined the band. The single, titled “Blóðberg,” was made with the London Contemporary Orchestra and conductor Robert Ames. The band co-produced the track with Paul Corley.

The release of “Blóðberg” comes with a video directed by Johan Renck. Renck’s video perfectly captures the themes of the song, which he describes as nihilistic and depressing. In a statement, Renck said, “The music becoming a score to my own miserable thoughts, giving them beauty as only music can.”

Sveinsson left Sigur Rós in the early 2010s, not long before the band released its most recent studio album, “Kveikur.” However, his return to the band was announced last year, and “Blóðberg” marks the first major release since his return.

As always, Sigur Rós delivers a hauntingly beautiful track that expresses complex emotions with a perfect balance of poetry and rock. Fans of the band will be thrilled to hear the new single and will undoubtedly be looking forward to the rest of the new music that the band is planning to release.

Sigur Rós has always been known for their exceptional live performances, and the band is set to hit the road once again. This time, they will be joined by a 41-piece orchestra for their upcoming tour, where they will play new songs. The tour has already generated a lot of buzz, and fans are eagerly waiting to see the band perform their new material live.

Sigur Rós has once again proven why they are considered a true force in the post-rock scene. “Blóðberg” is a powerful example of their unique sound, which combines poetic lyrics with dreamy melodies and sonic textures. With their upcoming tour and new album on the way, it is clear that Sigur Rós is not done captivating audiences around the world with their music anytime soon.
