An ethereal, glacial breakthrough of bowed guitar and falsetto, otherworldly and beautiful. Immersive and singular. The album that made them famous. Released in 1999, it's an early landmark for Sigur Rós.
On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
