  • i'm trying to download it

    their dumb website just links to a blank page when I click on download though :( :( :(

    • ok I am watching the music video now

      it's like a bloody wierd porno

      but the song is ace

  • yay!

    • booo

      looks like the site's crashed... I want it I want it.

      • Everything's crashing for me tonight

        EXCEPT that site (H)

        • yep same here and the site worked fine first time

          The track is pretty cool ll upbeat and not a massive epic spaff off

          • haha

            "epic spaff off"

            I'm liking this a lot. Would it fit nicely into my summer cd?

            • I think it maybe would fit in nicely

              although I have no idea what your other tracks are...

              • currently

                Windowlicker, and FotC's Ladies of the World.

                :/

                • hehhe well you cant go worng with them really

                  put thus track on the short list maybe...

  • ....

    yeah it's definately upbeat and summer-y, liking the strong beat but guess i was expecting something more epic. needs more lessons have a feeling it is a grower.

  • reminds me of

    'drop' by cornelius

  • its rubbish.

    • Wut, Sigur Ros, rubbish?!

      <insert controversial statement about them having always been shit>

      • They're pretty bad usually.

        The only good album was Takk, but this is taking the biscuit.

  • Very Animal Collective

    I like it.

  • It's a bit

    nothingy...

  • i dont know if im liking

    this or not? it all seems a bit not like sigur ros , its not bad though, just not what i was expecting, pehaps thats a good thing?

    • I don't think they can win

      If they released another 7 minute long slow building epic as the first single people would accuse them of being boring and repetitive. They do something a bit different and people say they should go back to their old sound. I like the change but i'm sure the album will have some songs more similar to their older stuff. Looking at the track listing there's quite a few 5+ minutes songs on there.

      • yea i suppose

        a listen to the full album will reveal all! its nto bad though after a couple of listens.

      • +1

        I think its a step on for them, they're previous diversions have been quite subtle, this feels like them trying to push what they are expected to do. Reminds me of the skins tune in places though?!?! think its that staccato guitar

        • wow

          animal collective much? good to see a change in direction though, takk was one epic too many for me

  • yeah i like..

    sounds like something off sung tongs, which is a good thing.

  • It freaked me out

    when I read 'Captain Wow', as me and my friend used to make music under that alias...

    I think I've worked out that this is what you may be calling Zane Lowe... or someone?

    • bingo

      it's also what dylan moran called simon pegg in shaun of the dead before the final battle in the pub

      • I know, heh.

        That was where the name came from.

        It's been a long time. If you're super bored give it a listen. Or even if you're not super bored.
        We haven't done anything in ages but we might make a few more tracks before one half of the duo goes to Uni and the other half doesn't etc.

        ...God I love Shaun Of The Dead.

        I don't just mean love, I mean LOVE.

        • By the way...

          I've listened to the song now and it's ACE.

          I really, really like it.

          Looking forward to seeing this and hopefully some other new things played in Benicassim soon :)

          Sounds like this album will be kind of dissimilar to their previous stuff.

          Cannot wait!

  • *head scratch*

    I like this goobleligook tune alot...which is weird cos I thought Sigur Ros are epically boring. I might have to revisit where I got that notion from...

  • It's nice but no more

    I expected better.

    • ^this

      and it sounds like alot of other bands I like, which is strange for alot of sigur ros songs

  • i think its nice

    as much i will be eternally in love with takk and the way it made love to my head when i first listened to it, i love to see bands try something new.

  • The site is being crap

    so if anyone wants to upload this elsewhere, I'd be grateful

  • I really like this

    quite looking forward to the new album now.
