Description
2021 reissue, 2×12″ LP, Krúnk.
There is a busy run of reissues of Sigur Ros albums planned this year. Valtari was the cult band’s sixth outing back in 2021 on XL Recordings. The record was described by the band at the time as being the sound of ‘an avalanche in slow motion.’ They co-produced it themselves with Alex Somers in their native Reykjavik, Iceland. The sound is vast, often overwhelming you with waves of guitars that leave you breathless. It has long been out of print but now reappears on their own Krunk label on nice heavy wax. – Juno
