Keeping Up With The Jónsis

Jónsi from Icelandic alt-pop outfit Sigur Rós has taken some time out from the band to work on some material of his own.

His album 'Go' is set for release in 2010 and the first track from the record 'Boy Lilikoi' is available as a free download from his website.



The first thing that'll probably strike you about the track is that, yes, it's in English and not the unintelligible Hopelandic (or indeed, 'gobbledigook') that features in Sigur Rós' material.

Thankfully, making his lyrics understandable doesn't really detract from Jónsi's mystique and I reckon he's on to a winner with this charming little ditty.
