Gobbledigook - Sigur Ros



Gobbledigook is the first track off of the Icelandic band Sigur Ros' most recent album Med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust, which means "With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly". This upbeat song has received a lot of criticism for straying from the band's overall somber tone, for being too poppy and for not being musically intricate when compared to previous works. However, plenty of people have recognized and embraced the band's new friendly spring-time sound.
Personally, I like hearing how their music has changed over the years and has gone from being ambient with slight shoegaze fuzziness to sounding really icy and cold to sounding like the warm months.
