Sigur Ros's fourth album and the one where they finally got happy, albeit in their own inimitably beautiful and deeply inscrutable way. This is the record that gave the world "Hoppipolla", a song which cemented Sigur Ros's reputation for being the go-to band for anyone wanting a sense of hope and exultation in their film/TV show. The record also harbored moments of definitive Sigur Ros drama in singles Glosoli and Saeglopur, and high beauty in Se Lest and Svo Hljott. Takk. - which means "thank you" in the bandÕs native Icelandic - quickly became the band's biggest selling album around the world, fuelled by Hoppipolla's usage in the BBC's Planet Earth nature series. Sung in a mixture of Icelandic and the wordless Hopelandic, Takk was recorded by the band with producer Ken Thomas in 2005 at their Sundlaugin studio in the Icelandic countryside.
