a falsetto somewhere between thom yorke and a choir boy. his voice is probably the most unique thing about sigur rós. jónsi often uses a cello bow to play his guitar, resulting in an effects-laden, atmospheric, totally unique sound. they create a remarkable sound considering the basic instruments used.
The band consists of jón þor (jónsi) birgisson (vocals, guitars), kjartan (kjarri) sveinsson (keyboards), orri páll dýrason (drums) and georg (goggi) holm (bass). check out the downloads page and listen to some tracks. it's impossible to justify it with words, you have to listen to it to understand. sigur rós hail from iceland, and rightly claim to bring you the beautiful landscape of their homeland with their music. they were later joined by kjartan and when ágúst left the band after the recording of ágætis byrjun in order to pursue a career in graphic design, he was replaced by orri. Sigur rós were formed by jónsi, georg and the former drummer ágúst in 1994.
