Untitled - Sigur Ros

Hailing from Iceland, I was first introduced to this band when Matt Good stated it was one of two bands he currently listened to. This song has a very simple but moving feel to it that is very easy to listen to. Off of their third album, every song on it was untitled and split into two halves. The first was meant to be much lighter relying on keyboards more then guitars, while the second was more melancholic. Although all the songs are untitled on the album, each one does have a subname that the band uses to reference them, with this one being named Vaka, after the drummers daughter. The lyrics are very hard to make out, but beautiful in their simplicity. I haven't heard the full album yet but it is one I have had my eye out for.
