Jónsi - Go

Considering how much I loved Agaetis Byrjun back in the day, it's a bit surprising that I haven't followed Sigur Rós and the various projects of their bandleader and singer Jónsi more closely. (And, as an aside, these kinds of things are all too easy to observe nowadays, but that album came out nearly 20 years ago (!) - 1999 - and it was about a decade ago that I saw them live, with Ruth, at Festival Hall, and the way I already felt about them by then was pretty much as I still do now.) Anyhow, Go is good - bright, soaring, epic (of course) and with a bit of a pop surge.
