Jónsi announces forthcoming album, First Light
Jónsi of Sigur Rós has announced his forthcoming album, First Light, and shared the duo of singles, “Flicker” and “Cherry Blossom”.
“Writing this music at a time of manmade global turmoil and unrest for a video game," Jónsi explains. "I imagined First Light as a momentary fantastical, over-the-top, utopian world where everyone and everything lives together in everlasting peace and harmony. Choosing beauty over disorder, hope over fear, our universal divine angel guardians watching over us and connecting us all as one through love, melody, and music.”
Jónsi has teamed up with the music and wellness platform Myndstream, who will release it in partnership with Lakeshore. His fourth studio album joins the likes of Obsidian, which was released in 2021, as well as his 2010 debut, Go, and its follow-up, Shiver, which arrived ten years later.
