What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

So if you're like me and you used to like Sigur Ros before the BBC took over 'em and they moved to pompous central town (they live in Grandiose mansions) then you can console yourself with Amiina who are the female string section of said Icelandic super group. Kurr is CD only and it's basically all the twinkly bits of Sigur Ros without the chubby excess. It's very nice too. I can see folks who like Colleen enjoying this complete twinkle fest as well. It's really very lovely indeed and it comes in limited book style fancy cardboard packaging. I have to say the picture of them inside is rather fetching. This may sound a bit gay but I really like their dresses.

What the label says:

Amiina have confirmed details of their debut album KURR, which will be released by Ever Records – in groundbreaking packaging, around the world on June 18th 2007. The four piece female band from Reykyavik, Iceland, have perhaps been best known to date as collaborators with Sigur Ros – they also perform with the band as their string section during live performances – but they have been making their own unique music since 2004 and performing as a band since 2005, touring around the world as well as frequently opening for Sigur Rós. They have previously released two limited edition EPs. KURR is an extraordinary debut album that highlights the band’s magical approach to composition. Though classically trained, the four women behind amiina – Sólrún Sumarlidadóttir, María Sigfúsdóttir, Edda Olafsdottir and Hildur Ársælsdóttir – refuse to be constrained by form, content or even instrumentation.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.

'Seriously, it was an Abba carrier bag.'
