Amazing. Go Quiet is a full length DVD of Jónsi performing the his new album acoustically. It was filmed "at home in Reykjavík, Iceland over new year 2010" and appears to have a proper storyline set to music.
Go Quiet is a part of the special edition version of the Go album, out April 5th (April 6th in North America). This is potentially one of the best albums of 2010- and certainly one of the most distinct sounding, with string arrangements by Nico Muhly. Here is the tracklisting:
Go Do video
Animal Arithmetic
Tornado
Boy Lilikoi
Sinking Friendships
Kolniður
Grow Till Tall
Around Us
Hengilás
The preview of the stage show is equally exciting. While Bjork remains sequestered (where?), new musicians seem to leap from the inspiration she built up over 15 years.

I was excited about his album but after watching his video and the set design featurette, I am really thrilled about how creative he is. It's going to be interesting to see how he develops this project.

typically i had no idea who jonsi was/is or that other johnny you were talking about (I'm so uncultured) but this is rather lush and lovely and makes me quite excited for the album.
yay! I'm so excited for this album. Was a mild Sigur Ros fan but found so much of it snoozy or inaccessible or boring. I'm so glad he's making a more accessible, song-structured approach to his style without too much compromise. I always wanked Jonsi to make something like this and now he has!
The album as leaked and it's VERY good.
