Sigur Rós - Takk

Amazing album from an amazing icelandic post-rock band. The band has classified their sound as being "slow-motion rock", which fits pretty well when hearing and seeing their songs/videos. Unlike bands like GY!BE, Sigur Rós makes very uplifting music with very unique instruments. For some of their other albums they have some tribal drumming and lyrics spoken in their own made up language called "hopelandic", which is based off of icelandic. Several of their songs are featured in movies and tons of memorial videos using "Hoppípolla."
