Jónsi - Go

NEW VINYL LP ON PARLOPHONE 2010
180 GRAM VINYL

Exhilarating, joyful and fearless, 'Go' contains nine songs amassed from the large pool of songs written by Jónsi during his many years with Sigur Rós. Sung in English & Icelandic, and co-produced with his partner Alex and Peter Katis [The National, Interpol], Jónsi set out to a low-key, acoustic album until 'somewhere along the line, it just sort of exploded'. That explosion resulted in sheer aural fireworks. Not a straight ahead pop record, nor rock, folk, ambient or electronic, it encompasses all of these to create an expansive musical palette that's been brought to life by Jónsi alongside a number of free-spirited collaborators. Chief among these is Nico Muhly, arranged all the songs on 'Go', bringing strings, brass and woodwind to dance playfully alongside his offbeat piano playing. Add into the mix the percussive genius of Samuli Kosminen, whose original drumming powers many of the songs along, and you have a sonic landscape that bears little relation to anything else around today, yet explodes from the speakers with sheer happiness and wonder, wide-eyed and eager to be heard. Includes the single, 'Go Do'!.
