Takk is Icelandic for 'Thanks'. I'll be seeing these guys in Ann Arbor, MI on September 20th. :D

tour thread

I'm still waiting for the promised 5.1 SACD edition of () ... :mad:

I would much rather have a multi channel version of Ágætis Byrjun.

I've seen these guys live a few times, very enjoyable, gonna skip them this time though.

cant wait for it. looking foward to seeing em live too

i like them, but i'd rather not pay for a 2 hour nap.

awesome news, Cant wait to see these guys in Vancouver, should be good stuff.

A very limited tour here in US...the closest they come to Florida it seems is Atlanta GA. Oh well, at least there's a new album to enjoy...

it leaked. only listened to the first single but i can already tell im going to love it

good stuff.

Seeing them in September. Can't wait. Slightly disappointed by (), but hoping this new one is great.

On just one listen I think "Hoppípolla" is going to be a career standout. Yum.

Excellent. Thanks for the reminder

Just got it. It's definitley one the highlights of the year so far. More accessible that (), but still nowhere near mainstream.

bump for release and I added the cover art to the first post

It's only $9.99 at Circuit City and Best Buy, so I may go and pick this one up this week.

it's excellent. I think its my fav of thiers. Glosoli puts shivers down my spine.

Yeah, this has just taken over as my favorite album of the year thus far.

And Tower, in case that's more convenient for anyone.

Just saw them in NY on Monday. Really amazing. I had seen them in Brooklyn 2 years ago, but this time was even better. I guess the front-row seats I got on craigslist helped the experience a bit. I should've gone again yesterday, but now I gotta wait 2 years for them to come back again! Go see them!

I am seeing them on the 20th in Ann Arbor, MI. How long did they play for? Was there an opening band?

The opening band is Anima, who is a string quartet who actually plays with Sigur Ros during Sigur Ros' set. They played for...hmm, I'd say like 95 minutes.

We're people allowed to bring cameras to the show?

Just bought this one today. I've listened to it a few times, and it's much more accessible than ( ) was. That's not saying much, but it's very good. My wife even seemed to enjoy a bit of it, and she's not a big fan.

Definitely worth a listen.

I had ( ) for a while but it never quite grabbed me. I picked up Takk last week and then two days later rushed out and got Ágætis Byrjun, which seems to be the favorite of a lot of reviewers. (I don't know how ( ) seem to get all the press, maybe the gimmicky title...)

Anyway, my listening since then has consisted of
Takk
Ágætis Byrjun
Takk
Ágætis Byrjun
Takk
Ágætis Byrjun
and so on, ad infinitum...

I can't stop. It's too wonderful.
