An Icelandic alternative/post rock band formed in 1994, consisting of Jón Þór “Jó
nsi” Birgisson, Georg Holm, and previous members
Kjartan Sveinsson and
Orri Páll Dyrason.
The band was named after Jónsi’s youngest sister, Sigurrós Elín, who was born on the day the band was formed. Jónsi also has 2 younger sisters, Lilja and
Ingibjörg.
They have been and always will be my very favorite band. Their music is otherworldly...really no words can properly describe its vigor and beauty. I feel as if you can listen to any of their songs a thousand times over and you’d never tire of it.
