Sigur Rós recount preview...

The other evening, I saw Sigur Rós live at Festival Hall. I have been working on a recount, but I haven't had the time to perfect it. Here is a portion which I am happy with:

"Sigur Rós entered the stage as the ethereal piano tabs of their first song for the evening, ‘Svefn-g-englar’, echoed through the theatre. Variously sized spheres glowed above the stage like diagrams of the solar system that created an extra terrestrial atmosphere which was evident in the faces of all in the audience who sat in their seats completely transfixed by the indelible mood of the tune. My heart began to race as Jónsi, the band’s vocalist, approached the microphone and began to sing in his highly unique voice which can best be described as sounding like a hybrid of the prim falsetto which a Catholic choir boy possesses and the haunting, primordial beckoning of a whale’s serenade. The band’s opening performance was rewarded with a pious reception from the thousands in attendance, all of which seemed to be completely in-tune with the intimacy and sensitivity which Sigur Rós were offering."

The rest will follow soon...

Here is a photo which I took during the concert:
