This, from Pitchfork about last night’s Sigur Ros set. Just to reassure myself, mainly, that I didn’t imagine anything …
Sigur Ros headlined The John Peel Stage, where they entranced a swelling and hypnotised crowd with a visual and sonic display of utter magic. Opening with menacing and ghostly new track ‘Óveður’, Sigur Ros weave a gossamer web of sound over a live show that only enhances the entire world that they create with their delicate and spine-chilling sounds. Without a doubt, they remain one of the finest live acts on the planet, and truly in a class of their own.
