Sigur Ros is a rock/pop/ambient band from Iceland that has a very surreal feel to their music. They combine haunting vocals, bowed guitar, and classical as well as minimalist elements to their composition.
You get a very other world feeling from their songs. They have this strange power to transport you somewhere far away; be it outer space or the deep depths of the ocean using samples that sound like star bursts, submarine echolocation, and whale calls.
With the weather warming and the nights soft and beautiful, Sigur Ros is a great accompaniment to dinner, background music for lounging around, or a long walk to clear your head. Check them out at Youtube.com.
