Sigur Rós – Ágætis Byrjun (1999)

April 10, 2020

The artwork on the front of Ágætis Byrjun is very apt; here we can see the gestation of Sigur Rós as they develop their bizarre yet gorgeous brand of unique music first presented to the world on Von. The music is growing; the post-rock moments are starting the sprawl and these tracks are beautiful and progressive. I’m not the world’s biggest expert on Sigur Rós but this is a beautiful release.
