Sigur Rós

On this day in 1999, we released Ágætis byrjun.
An album of sleepwalkers, submarines, and slow beginnings. 26 years on, thank you for listening.
What song stayed with you?

@sigurros mostly "Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása" and "Olsen Olsen", but also the classic "Svefn-G-Englar" (which is used beautifully and extensively in a great scene of Jean-Marc Vallée's movie "Café de Flore")

@sigurros I didn’t think I’d know how to answer that but it suddenly became obvious: Starálfur.

@sigurros Svefn-g-englar.

@sigurros the obvious answer is Starálfur, but the most underrated song on the album and probably in the whole discography is Hjartað hamast (bamm bamm bamm). The guitar tones, strings, and digital distortion on that track have all the feels.
