The Sigur Ros concert I was lucky enough to see at the Liverpool Phil in 2005 was one of the greatest audio visual experiences of my life. The encore Popplagio reduced me to a sobbing wreck. Such a powerful combination of falsetto voice over the driving percussion and whaling guitars and violins. It builds to a crescendo like nothing I have ever experienced before or since. I will never forget it. This YouTube clip of a different gig with the same encore is pretty much how I remember it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCAQ0MZTJmg This artwork based upon an original photo by: Drew de F Fawkes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3nsi#/media/File:Sigur_R%C3%B3s,_Victoria_Park,_London_(Citadel_Festival)_(27836688703).jpg

Sigur Rós (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈsɪːɣʏrous] is an Icelandic post-rock band that formed in 1994 in Reykjavík. It comprises lead vocalist and guitarist Jón Þór "Jónsi" Birgisson, bassist Georg Hólm and keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson. Known for their ethereal sound, frontman Jónsi's falsetto vocals, and their use of bowed guitar, Sigur Rós incorporate classical and minimal aesthetic elements. Jónsi's vocals are sung in Icelandic and non-linguistic vocalisations the band terms Vonlenska. They have released eight studio albums, and attracted critical and commercial attention with their second album Ágætis byrjun.
