Things are getting quite interesting in the world of Sigur Rós. The Icelandic band's new album Kveikur is reportedly more aggressive and darker than their previous offerings, and while the follow-up to last year's Valtari won't arrive until June 18 in the United States, we now have an epic eight-minute video on our hands to sample what's in store.
Check below for the accompanying video to the new track "Brennisteinn" confirms their previous remarks that the next record will be "more aggressive."
Directed by Andrew Huang, who has also worked with Björk, the "Brennisteinn" video signifies the first offering from the band to feature Sigur Rós' as a trio, though, following the departure of multi-instrumentalist Kjartan Sveinsson.
