Do you love Sigur Ros like I do?

If you knew Sigur Ros like I do, then you would love them. It's impossible not to.

We have discovered Sigur Ros's love child, or it's tumor, or its fraternal twin.
Or something like that.

Jonsi and Alex.


Jonsi and Alex are two members of the Icelandic band Sigur Ros, and they have formed their own second band.

It's instrumental and calm, like listening to those cds of waves on the shore, or bird sounds. You hardly notice it, and when you do you'll be amazed by the beauty and fragility of each song.

Here's my favorite part of their website:
a flash recipe book, of handwritten recipes that include ingredients like "a few handfuls of any dark leaf, like spinach, or something."


Oh, and what's that, a movie of them blending? Here you go!
