Sigur Ros on indefinite hiatus

Sigur Ros is definitely one of the most unique bands on the planet. Each album they have released is a masterpiece and, in my opinion, a work of art. Their music is something that affects you in the most fundamental levels. I challenge anyone not to feel anything when they hear Glosoli.

Unfortunately, it looks like after nearly a decade of making music, Sigur Ros will be taking some time off… indefinitely. From all indications, the compounding factors for the hiatus is singer Jonsi Birgison’s new tour for his solo effort Go, and the band members’ current priority of being with their families.

According to Birgisson, it will be a while before fans hear any new material from the band. There was talk of the band recording an as yet unreleased album but Birgison immediately shot it down and said that it was just a rumor. He clarified that the band began to record new material but decided to scrap all of it. He said everyone is on a break and all of the members are expecting babies.

At this point, it’s anyone’s guess when the band will decide that it’s too boring being cooped up inside their homes and get back together again to record new material.
