janhaw Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 So... What do you think about Gobledigook? I still dont know what to think. :S HAhaha, something from sigur ros message board: " I bet this is Alex's favorite song. A gay Yoko Ono." OR! even better: "Gobbledigook aka the cock slapping song." :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedofroses Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Interesting new song! not what i expected, sounds promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 This was certainly an interesting new sound for Sigur Rós, the beat is quite intense, but the song isn't that bad actually. It might grow even more on me when I get it together with the rest of their songs. The video was pretty crazy, I thought the album art was interesting, but this topped that by many miles.

Ms Magpie Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Martin, where did you see the video? I like the song. It's totally different thank their previous ones. Some say it sounds like Animal Collective, but since I still haven't listened to that band I think Gobbledigook sounds similar to Architecture in Helsinki/Broken Social Scene. But ONLY small sequences. Don't jump on me now saying how much do I suck for thinking that or something :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey07 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 This song isn't post rock, I'm sorry but I don't like it. It sounds like it would be a track off their Von album. I'll give it a few more listens before I really decide however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redundancy Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hello guys! How's everyone? hope all is well.. As i see everyone knows about the new amazing single and album but i thought i should add to that so.. here you go, straight from my email account. Sigur Rós will be releasing their new album worldwide the week of June 23. It is called Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. You can download the first track "Gobbledigook" and watch the video right now on SigurRos.com. This is the official announcement sent out by the record labels today… Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (English spelling: Med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust) Sigur Rós will be releasing their fifth album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (English translation: with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly), worldwide the week of June 23. The first track from the album, entitled "Gobbledigook," is available worldwide for free download via SigurRos.com. The video for the song is also on the website. A pre-sale for the album will begin on SigurRos.com on June 2. A special deluxe edition of the album to be released later in the year — featuring a "Making Of… " book, a film and more — will also be available to pre-order on the band's website as of June 2. A stream of Með suð í eyrum… will be available to hear on SigurRos.com on June 9. Lastly, a plethora of Sigur Rós goodies — exclusive clips, information on tickets for upcoming shows throughout the year, etc. — will be available to those who sign up for the mailing list on SigurRos.com. Með suð í eyrum… was co-produced with the band by renowned producer Flood, and was recorded in New York City (at Sear Sound Studios), London (at Assault and Battery Studios and Abbey Road), Reykjavík (at Álafoss, the band's studio, as well as a church in Reykjavík), and Havana, Cuba. Whereas Sigur Rós' last release — the critically-acclaimed documentary Heima, chronicling their free tour throughout Iceland — took the band to their homeland, their newest creation, Með suð í eyrum… is the first album in the band's career to be made outside of Iceland. It is also their first album to feature vocalist Jón "Jónsi" Thor Birgisson's vocals in English on one track (the remainder are sung in Icelandic). Inspired by the unfettered feeling of the acoustic performances filmed during Heima, Sigur Rós decided to adopt a looser approach in the writing and creation of their brilliant fifth album. The material for the album was written, recorded and mixed entirely in 2008 and is being released just one month after its completion. The album glows with the perfect imperfection of live takes, the sounds of fingers playing guitar strings, cracked notes, and a stark, upfront presence not found in previous Sigur Rós recordings, moving away from reverb-soaked guitar sounds towards something altogether more affecting. The record also contains some of the most joyous music the band has ever recorded. Opener "Gobbledigook" sets the tone for Með suð í eyrum… with its shifting acoustic guitars, playful vocals, time signature swings and swirling percussion, while "Inní mér syngur vitleysingur" ("Within me a lunatic sings") sparkles as one of the most anthemic songs Sigur Rós have ever written. "Festival" is epic in its elation and scope, "Illgresi" features one of Jónsi's finest vocal melodies over a lone acoustic guitar, and "Ára bátur" is the largest musical undertaking in the band's career, as it was recorded live in one take with the London Sinfonietta and London Oratory Boy's Choir, a total of 90 people playing at the same time. The band also utilized the talents of their string-quartet friends Amiina, as well as a five-piece brass section on certain tracks, in addition to introducing the Mellotron into their writing/recording process for the first time on this album, highlighted on one of the most tender and beautiful songs on the record, "Fljótavík." The spirit of Með suð í eyrum… is best captured by the album's stunning artwork, contributed by acclaimed visual artist Ryan McGinley. McGinley first met the band when he photographed Jónsi six years ago; the album cover was taken from a flyer for McGinley's most recent exhibit, "I Know Where the Summer Goes," which happened to find its way into Jónsi's inbox just as the band was deciding on how to best visually represent their new collection of songs. The result is a perfect synergy of the aural and the visual. The tracklisting for Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly</EM>) is… 1. Gobbledigook 2. Inní mér syngur vitleysingur 3. Góðan daginn 4. Við spilum endalaust 5. Festival 6. Með suð í eyrum 7. Ára bátur 8. Illgresi 9. Fljótavík 10. Straumnes 11. All Alright Sigur Rós will be playing shows all over the globe throughout the summer and fall to preview material from Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, including a special set at this year's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. The tour dates are: The June tour dates… 6/5/08 Guadalajara, MEX @ Teatro Degollado 6/7/08 Tepoztlan, MEX @ Festival La Colmena 6/8/08 Tijuana, MEX @ Planeta Tijuana 6/11/08 Omaha, NE @ Orpheum Theater 6/12/08 Kansas City, MO @ Uptown Theater 6/14/08 Manchester, TN @ Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival 6/16/08 New York, NY @ Grand Ballroom 6/20/08 Neuhausen ob Eck @ Southside Festival 6/22/08 Scheesel, Bremen @ Hurricane Festival More worldwide tour dates will be announced soon.

the_gloaming09 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 to me it sounds very Animal Collective-ish... primarily with the drums and bass. even perhaps the guitar work as well... it's very upbeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
