Sigur Ros

[irishgrl]

anyone heard of them? Ive got two CD's by them, I bought on a whim, and its interesting music, but the thing that really amazes me is the minimalist packaging, I have one that is completely white with shadows of leaves, and the booklet is the same, with no words, no liner notes no lyrics no nothing!

I dont speak swede/norse/dane/whatever it is (icelandic!) so Im a bit lost about the significance of the minimalist approach, but the second CD is similar, brown cardboard tri-fold, with what looks like a watercolor of a boy among trees...

here is their website and you can see what I mean about the graphics and even hear music clips...

oh well, just wondering if anyone else has heard of them...
