I was 14 when I was first enchanted by music from Iceland, and it came in the form of K.U.K.L., a peace punk band signed to Crass records with a young Björk on vocals. Then in the late 90’s, while record shopping at Other Music in NYC, I was turned on to SIGUR ROS‘s first EP, and ever since then I have been a fan. Something about their music speaks to the human condition, where suffering and happiness share the same space. I respect how SIGUR ROS has done everything on their own terms, which to me is punk as fuck! One thing that has always stuck out to me is their use of visuals to convey their message. That’s why today CVLT Nation is going to spotlight SIGUR ROS with a huge video essay featuring live performances & actual videos. Space is the place…peep some magic after the jump!
