Nice one Chris! I just recently got their new album and quite like it; gobbledigook and festival especially.

 

With a buzz in our ears we play endlessly! Enjoy the concert

I'm going to check them out at the latitude festival in couple of weeks, not sure what all the hype is about thou.

Damn i'm away then, wonder if they're playing New Zealand

 

I've been to see them three times they are absolutely fantastic live they put on an amazing show. The bowed guitar is so atmospheric live and you just can't believe the amount of different instruments they play.

Pronounced "see-yor rouse" (apparently), they're an Icelandic post-rock group.

 

You can listen to their new album here.

Yes the G is silent it's the lead singers sisters name, they have some sound bites on the web site to help with pronounciation.

They're very giving so you can hear quite a bit on the site.

You will know their stuff without knowing them. They are used for loads of TV jingles as mood style music.

 

Also going to Blackpool with the Mullett Man to see them.

[webman]

Yes that's right.

 

Hoppípolla is probably their most popular TV ad track.

[cookie_monster]

Whats the betting that gobbledigook will be the new BBC mega jingle

[somabc]

Has anyone seen the video to Gobbledigook?

 

I wont post it on here as it is seriously NSFW!

[cookie_monster]

Yeh i watched a making of

[e_g_r]

Yes that's right.

 

Hoppípolla is probably their most popular TV ad track.

 

Don't forget their music also features in the Movie Vanlilla Sky.

 

Love the new album, think the more acoustic sound is great. Also can't wait to see those Amiina Girls - Hildur xxxx

Also Season 1 of 24 has one of their tracks.

Not sure i',m that keen on the Video or the Album cover but i must say those ladies in the video looked very cold

[cookie_monster]

Amiina are usually the support act as well and put on a fantastic show so overall their gigs are great. Yes they do look a tad chilly.

All i want for XMas is those lovely Amiina girls.

[ZeroHour]

Nice one man, sounds great. I have been listening to them lately too.

[K.C.Leblanc]

Lucky git, I saw them a good few years back supporting Radiohead at South Park in Oxford.

[Netman]

Thanks for the intro - not really heard them before... Hoppipola is pretty good but not bothered about the rest really.... bunch of tree hugging hippy cr@p!!

 

As for Marillion - love 'em. Saw them at Exeter Uni in about '83 when Fish still wore the makeup. They blew me away... thier early stuff like Garden Party and Script was brilliant. Not so fussed on the later stuff though.
