Sigur Rós

After years of increasingly grandiose records and tours, ethereal Icelandic post-rock outfit Sigur Rós is pumping the breaks on its latest tour. Playing as a stripped-down trio, the group trades in backing bands and string sections for an elaborate stage show that includes new music that was developed on the road. If you can't afford a trendy vacation to Iceland, an evening of the country's unofficial soundtrack might be the next best thing.
