Sigur Ros

Went to see Sigur Ros at Alexandra Palace last night.  ‘Twas great.  I wasn’t sure their music would transfer well to such a large venue but they ramped things up a treat.  Birgisson’s voice soared above the audience, combining beautifully with the cool light show to create an etheral environment.  There wasn’t any moshing, people simply stood as one in mutual appreciation at the beautiful sounds flooding forth from the stage.

The light show was particularly impressive.  A sudden curtain of rainwater; a blizzard of ticker-tape; sound-sensitive lights that twinkled like stars during quieter moments and blazed like suns when the volume rose.

Top stuff.  Having seen Arcade Fire, Radiohead and now Sigur Ros in the past year, just the White Stripes to go and I’ll be quite contented :)
