Description
Kveikur is the seventh album by Sigur Roacutes, originally released on XL Recordings in June 2013. Completely out of print worldwide, the album will now be rereleased on the band’ s own label, Krunk. Described by the band as “more aggressive” than any of their previous work, Kveikur – which means ‘fuse’ or ‘candle wick’ in the band’ s native Icelandic – is heavier, both thematically and sonically. All of the lyrics are sung in Icelandic rather than the wordless “Vonlenska” Hopelandic as on , providing a more grounded experience.
