So, Jonsi from Sigur Ros is working on a solo album. Entitled Go, it should be ready in about April. He's an amazing singer and a very wonderful musician, so naturally I'm excited about it. What's gotten me even more excited, however, is the sneak-peak track that Parlophone have just uploaded onto their YouTube channel.
Never one to shy away from the grandiose, Go Do is sweeping in its big, multi-faceted sound that's complete with thunderous drumming, heavens-high harmonies and atmospheric, ambient keyboards that assist the song in sounding so fucking glorious. Is it any surprise that this work is from the mind that gave us Hoppipolla and Vid Spilum Endalaust?
Apparently, he's singing in English. Even still, you can't understand a single word that he's saying. But hey, that's how it's been for years with Sigur Ros, why let that end now? Go Do is wonderful, and if all goes according to plan, Go will be as well.
FINAL RATING (/10): 8.5
Jonsi's currently touring the US, and I really hope he makes it to Australia before the end of the year!
Have a listen to the song here, on YouTube.
