Sigur Rós
Sigur R?s is an Icelandic post-rock band with shoegazing and minimalist elements. The name is Icelandic for "victory rose". It is pronounced 'see oor roce', or in the International Phonetic Alphabet. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ J?n ??r (J?nsi) Birgisson, Georg Holm and ?g?st ?var Gunnarsson formed the group in Reykjav?k in August 1994. Their name is taken from J?nsi's younger sister Sigurr?s, who was born the same day. They soon won a record deal with a local record label, Bad Taste. In 1997, they released Von (Hope) and in 1998 a remix collection named Von brig?i. The name is Icelandic wordplay: Vonbrig?i means "disappointment", but Von brig?i means "hope alteration". (In English, the album is sometimes known by the alternative name "Recycle Bin".)
Shoegazing: Shoegazing is a style of music that emerged in the UK in the late 1980s. The defining opener of the genre is said to be Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine, released in 1988 (see 1988 in music), though many would argue the band are worthy of appreciation outside of the narrow confines of the genre... Minimalist: REDIRECT Minimalism... Icelandic: Icelandic may mean:... Sigur Rós related Images and Photos (experimental)
