Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust by Sigur Ros

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, which translates as With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly, is Sigur Rós' fifth full-length album, released on EMI and XL Recordings in June 2008 with Flood producing. It's the sound of the Reykjavík band stepping out of the fog and into the daylight: looser, more playful and fanciful, with more straightforward guitar melodies, acoustic instruments and folk-flavored songs in place of their usual glacial drift.

Opener "Gobbledigook" sets the tone, all tumbling rhythm and giddy energy, and Zane Lowe gave it its first spin on BBC Radio 1. The band meant to sing the whole thing in English before deciding Icelandic felt more natural, but "All Alright" still became their first song in English. Jónsi sings and plays guitar, with Georg Hólm on bass, Kjartan Sveinsson on keyboards and Orri Páll Dýrason on drums. The songs later drifted into films, "Festival" into 127 Hours and "All Alright" into Ondine, and the cover uses a Ryan McGinley photograph called "Highway".
