Sigur Rós Valtari

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[L]ayered, gorgeous...lush with nuanced drift and harmonic sweetness."
"[A] bewitching record....These eight tracks are rooted in stillness..."
Billboard (p.32) - "[T]here's no denying the impressive dimensions of the often-static sounds here. Nobody gets more excited about a single massive chord than these guys."
3 stars out of 5 -- "The closing track, 'Fjogur Piano,' is a warm smudge of sound, apparently bathed in the glow from a tallow lamp..."
3 stars out of 5 -- "'Ekki Mukk' is a gossamer-light, if strangely riveting voice in the wilderness, while 'Vardeldur' drifts agreeably off into softly chiming waves of yearning desolation."
