Sigur Ros - ATTA

 

Gatefold double LP

Sigur Rós' first new studio album in 10 years

Sigur Rós' first new studio album in 10 years, ÁTTA, is their most intimate and emotionally direct record to date. Few bands cut through the noise and distractions of the world to bring you a pure elemental truth or feeling like Sigur Rós. As you hear on ÁTTA, there's a new compulsion and drive to the band that comes with the new formation of the line up.

Multi-instrumentalist Kjartan Sveinsson is back in the fold — having left the band in 2012 — to join frontman Jónsi and bassist Georg Holm. Recorded across multiple continents — in the band's Sundlaugin studio in Iceland, the legendary Abbey Road in the U.K. and a number of studios in the U.S. — ÁTTA leans heavily towards the orchestral, and touches on everything that has made Sigur Rós one of the most ambitious and acclaimed bands of recent times, with close to 10 million albums sold, while signposting an exciting and expansive possibility for their future.

ÁTTA prominently features the London Contemporary Orchestra conducted by Robert Ames, alongside brass performed by longtime Icelandic collaborators Brassgat í bala. It is mixed and co-produced by another frequent collaborator Paul Corley, alongside the band.
