Sigur Rós have revealed two new instrumental editions of tracks from their 2013 LP Kveikur.
"Stormur" and "Ísjaki" have both been stripped of Jonsí's inimitable falsetto, leaving only the vastness of the post-rock instrumentation to shine.
Kveikur is out now. Sigur Rós’ Georg Holm and Orri Páll Dýrason have collaborated on a new soundtrack called Circe, which will back BBC circus/performing arts documentary The Show Of Shows.
Stream six of the Kveikur instrumentals, including the pair of newly shared ones, below.
