I’m thrilled to announce NPR Music's first video simulcast: Sigur Rós' singer in a solo concert, originally webcast live, in video, from Los Angeles on Oct. 17.
Not only is the album by Jón Thór Birgisson (a.k.a. Jónsi) just about my favorite album of the year, but I've also heard that his live show is a visual stunner. Go came out earlier this year, and it's filled with songs that don't quite fit the landscape of Sigur Rós records, but surely sound like they live on a nearby island. The music of Go is often ecstatic and upbeat. String arrangements from classical music composer Nico Muhly add splashes of color.
