Gobbledigook [50MB MOV]
Sigur Rós is going Animal Collective in their new single Gobbledigook. The single has been released to download in high quality on the Internet and is accompanied by a a fitting video. Yes, forests and wild animals exist even in cold Iceland and they dance around camp fires even there. In a way this video epitomizes the naive gibberish Sigur Rós has been promoting for years.

In his pursue of originality, a one-man band from Iceland, Mugison combines the elements of black humor, avant-garde content and indie simplicity. Mugison’s musical world strikes me as utterly weird, disturbing and heart-wrenching at the same time. His heartfelt exploration of psychedelic-tinged compositions, rich assortment of sounds, ambient noises, acoustic guitar arrangements and orchestral instrumentation come together to produce something beautifully eerie and original.
They say cold electronica is dead. Humanity, the ever alienated nation, has understood the disinterest of fellow men in one another, the unwiilingness to get close, really close. Society understood this, and thus cold electronic music doesn’t thrill as it used to, it revealed what it had to say, and now it can disappear like all the true prophets.
The best way to describe Johannsson’s IBM 1401 was found inside, beside the CD on a narrow slip of paper:
A last goodbye’s tune is something that you carry forever. You carry that in the image of the person from whom you parted, you carry that in your memories and emotions. You will hear it forever every time the image of that person will shine in your mind. Every time you will hear it, that person will come to mind. Goodbyes music is dangerous, it can call memories that you wish to repress, and music can come, and does come, without us calling it. Music is independent. So, pad your goodbyes with the right music, pad your parting with what you wish to be remembered by. In an utopia we will all be remembered with Kaada’s music, music that has both joy and sadness in it, to endless extent. Music that has love, that is love. That’s the person that went away.
Between two solar systems, somewhere in the blank space, you can find Under Byen. Between Sigur Ros and Björk. Every mass, even the smallest one, generates a gravitational force which its strength is relative to its size. Solar systems are huge masses and therefore create powerful gravitational fields. The apple in your kitchen is small, but still attracts. Under Byen are balanced - from one direction they are pulled by Björk and from the other side by Sigur Rós. Two giant forces, and one small point balanced between them, mixing both powers into its own special sense of stability.
Not only computers and electronic toys can generate clicks. Actually, the clicks were there a long time before any electricity made its way in some rubber coated copper wires, they were all around us since the beginning of time, but they were all connected, so they just didn’t sound or look like small fragmented clicks. But if we take our natural sounds and fragment them to small tiny pieces, it’s click that we will have. And that’s exactly what Monogram is all about - creating natural clicks. They broke everything - the guitars, the drums, the piano. All is broken, but what we have is even more complete and encompassing then when it was all tied together.
It seems like the habit of listening to music at home with a giant pair of headphones became extinct. Maybe it got to do with the kind of music we hear. I was listening to Mogwai’s Young Team today, and noticed a part where they play with the stereo feature the same way bands used to play with it when it was all new and flashy. So I got a pair of headphones (a giant pair) on me, to feel it in the best way possible, and I just left them on, listening to Mogwai. The instrumental rock, the headphones, the buzz going from one side to another, felt like the 70s. But it wasn’t the 70s, it was now, and it was great. Mogwai didn’t stay in their headphones kingdom, they took their stereo feature and came to here and now, adopting along the way all kinds of new stuff and ideas. So now I sit down and listen, with my headphones on, with true rock (before it got pissed and with an attitude) in my ears. Recently Mogwai released their latest album, Mr. Beast.-
