Sigur Rós to release new album in Spring 2012: http://consequenceofsound.net/2011/11/sigur-ros-to-release-new-album-in-spring-2012/

On the heels of their new concert film and live album, INNI, Sigur Rós have announced plans to release a new album next Spring. As The Wall Street Journal reports, following Jónsi’s 2010 solo tour, the Icelandic collective “went straight to work at their studio, set in a space once occupied by a swimming pool.” Although the initial sessions proved difficult, “the quartet soon found its new focus.”

 

That new focus, however, resulted in “an ambient album,” at least according to drummer Orri Páll Dýrason. Although a vague description, the band’s other members had plenty of other adjectives to describe the as-yet-to-be-titled sixth LP. Bassist Georg “Goggi” Hólm calls it “introverted,” singer and multi-instrumentalist Jón “Jónsi” Þór Birgisson thinks it’s “floaty and minimal,” while Dýrason added it has “a slow takeoff toward something.”
