Sigur Ros: Starálfur
Starálfur on Amazon Prime Music
Continuing my list of the Top 10 albums of 1999, coming in at #2 is Agaetis Byrjun by Sigur Ros. I didn’t become a fan of Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Ros until 2004. I don’t remember how I learned of them, but I know that the first tune I heard was “Svefn-g-englar” from their 1999 album. This occurred during my post-rock obsession period,…
