Hot music from Iceland
Icelandic phenoms Sigur Rós are back with a new album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. (I believe the English translation is Chinese Democracy.)
Apparently, the band felt that their ethereal symphonic jams still weren’t going to connect with the mass American audiences, so they teamed up with Brooklyn photographer Ryan McGinley (website, not work safe) to stick some naked teenagers on their album cover (seen slightly altered above) and throughout their new music video.
Playful nudity aside, the album is great. You can listen to the whole thing for free via newfangled widget technology after the jump.
