Sigur Rós is an alternative rock band that was formed in 1982 in Glasgow, Scotland. The band has undergone several lineup changes throughout the years, with Bobby Gillespie on vocals since 1984 and Andrew Innes on guitar since 1986. Other current members include Darrin Mooney on drums and Simone Butler on bass.

Over the years, Sigur Rós has had various former members who have contributed to their unique sound. These include Jim Beattie and Robert 'Throb' Young on guitar, Judith Boyle on vocals, Martin St. John on tambourine, Thomas McGurk and Gavin Skinner on drums, Henry Olsen and Gary 'Mani' Mounfield on bass, Paul Harte and Stuart May on guitar, Philip 'Toby' Tomanov and Steve Sidelnyk on drums.

The band's music has been described as atmospheric and ethereal, often incorporating elements of post-rock and shoegaze. Their sound is characterized by lead singer Bobby Gillespie's distinct vocal style and the band's ability to create immersive sonic landscapes.

There are few bands that cut through the noise and distractions of the world to bring you a pure elemental truth or feeling like Sigur Rós. It seems only fitting that now they should return by surprise with their most intimate and emotionally direct album to date withÁTTA.While they’ve seemed ever-present with ambitious live shows, mixtapes, sound baths and anniversary celebrations of now classic albums, it’s been a long ten years since the Icelandic post-rock pioneers released a full album with 2013’s edgy and industrial ‘Kveikur’.As you hear onÁTTA, there’s a new compulsion and drive to Sigur Rós that comes with the new formation of the line-up. Multi-instrumentalist Kjartan Sveinsson is back in the fold to join frontman Jónsiand bassist Georg Holm–having left the band in 2012–and they’ve also found a more stripped-backsound following the departure of drummer Orri Páll Dýrason in 2018.“Kjartan came here to my home in LA for a holiday, and we just planned to do some demos and fool around,” says Jónsi. “It was nothing serious or necessarily Sigur Rós-related, then Georg got involved and we just started making the album properly.
