Just a heads up for the new album and single by Jónsi - better
known to a multitude of quiet, contemplative bedsit types and glacier watchers
as Jón Thor Birgisson, the lead singer of Sigur Rós.
Jónsi is currently out on a world tour to promote ‘Go’. No
simple one-man show with just an acoustic guitar, this will be a bells-and-whistles
extravaganza! The shows which started in North America in April will feature
a brand new band and a stage set designed by 59 Productions.
The idea of the stage collaboration with 59 Productions is to bring together
the worlds of theatre and music in a new and hopefully unique way, in order
to create something other than the hoary old clichés that pass for innovation
in rock'n'roll.
Jónsi returns to London on May 26th for a show at London’s Forum.
The perky, parping, foot-stamping, helium-filled single, ‘Go Do’
is out now, and clashing with a similarly high-altitude cloud of volcanic ash
blowing East from his native Iceland.
Fans can catch him at the Vic Theatre in Chicago on April 27th and 28th and
at Terminal 5 in New York on the 8th and 9th of May.
EMI is currently promoting an album preview over at Youtube.
