Valtari, the upcoming album from Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós, will be released on May 28, according to a new interview with Q Magazine. Frontman Jónsi told the magazine that the music will be "heavy and floaty", additionally having a much more "electronic" sound than previous records and using strings and girls' choir. Also, there won't be any English lyrics.

2. Ekki Múkk


3. Varúð


4. Rembihnûtur


5. Dauðalogn

6. Varðeldur

7. Valtari

It has been hinted at that the new record will feature a more ambient driven sound, as opposed to the more "poppy" aesthetic of more previous albums.
