Jónsi – Go Do from Jónsi on Vimeo.

Jonsi Brigisson’s debut album will be hitting the shelves a week from
today and this guy right here is excited. If you are unaware of this
Jonsi character, you might recognize his high pitch cooing from Sigur
Ros ditties. Jonsi decided to take a break from singing in his made up
language (Hopelandic… i know, i know) as one fourth of the Icelandic
post rock dream weavers to make a solo album that sounds like… well
Sigur Ros. The song are shorter though and Jonsi does sing in English
which may intrigue those who have shied away from his previous work.
For those of you bro’d out readers donning lacrosse pinnies and Oakley
shades, I know this music may sound kind of “gay”, but if the song
posted above doesn’t make you want to cure cancer while climbing Mt.
Everest, then a part of your soul is clearly missing.
