THE PREVIEW

Attention all Sigur Rós fans: The release date of Jónsi's debut solo album, 'Go', has been confirmed for the week of April 5th.

Featuring nine songs arranged in collaboration with classical wunderkind Nico Muhly, the album now has a finished sleeve, conceptualised and realised by Jónsi's sisters Inga and Lilja.

If you can't wait until April, click here to listen to an acoustic performance by Jónsi on WNYC in New York.

In the meantime, this first week of February, is also when we'll finally get to see the video for 'Go Do', the first single to be taken from 'Go'.

Directed by Arni & Kinski (previously responsible for no fewer than six Sigur Rós videos, including 'Glósóli' and 'Viðrar vel til loftárása'), the video was filmed on location in Iceland between Christmas and New Year, which is quite an achievement considering there are about four hours of daylight at that time of year.

It looks gorgeous, and here's a still to prove it...
