Flugufrelsarinn

Sigur Ros : Flugufrelsarinn.

These guys are from Iceland and they sing in Hopelandic, which is a mixture of Icelandic, English and Piglatin. They strum their guitars with a violin bow, creating waves of sound that are vividly reminiscent of the icy volcanic landscape they arose from. Simply gorgeous.
