Jonsi

'Go' Album Review

Better known as the falsetto behind Icelandic pixie kings Sigur Ros, 'Go' is (technically) Jonsi's second solo album (after a collaborative Jonsi & Alex effort), and like his regular band, it sounds like a cuddling-up album for furry wood folk from the Lord Of The Rings.

Cloud-floatingly uplifting and joyous, its melodies spiral off into magical places where the only harm that's likely to come of you is getting bitten on the big toe by a midly irate sparrow. It's an album of warmth and journey cast entirely in its own world. If you're a fan of sentimental otherworldly music, and Sigur Ros for that matter, this could quite easily be your favourite album of the year thus far.
