CMU Approved
Approved: Jonsi And Alex/Riceboy Sleeps (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 28 July 2009
Sigur Ros frontman Jón Þór and his boyfriend Alex have apparently been collaborating on this project for some years now, and it’s a labour of love where the result totally justifies the time invested, with lush ambient instrumentals, that sit somewhere further towards ‘experimental’ than SR, to be found found throughout their debut album. ‘Happiness’ is the only track currently streaming on their MySpace, which was released last year as part of the (New York band) The National curated ‘Dark Was The Night’ compilation, though if you’re a fan of Jon Þór’s other work, or an appreciator of Max Richter’s film soundtracks, Johann Johannsson’s delicate compositions or the prince of ambient, Brian Eno, then you should find a space for their full length record in your collection.
