Some of you probably know that I'm rather infatuated with Iceland. More on that in the future. Suffice it to say, Miles Island is largely inspired by real and magical (is)lands that are out there for anyone to explore and be humbled by. But on to the music!
This week's featured musician is jón þór birgisson (aka jónsi), who heralds from Iceland and is the lead singer of Sigur Rós. His solo project came out this year and it's fantastic. I've heard his live show is incredible, and I can't wait to catch him when he plays Chicago in a couple weeks. See jónsi's show for yourself here (NPR Music's first video simulcast) until Oct 21st--after that date, NPR will archive a few clips.
Check out the tour trailer...
