Icelandic post-rock mainstays Sigur Rós return with their first release since the departure of influential member Kjartan Sveinsson. Kveikur is their seventh record and the trio take a more aggressive approach than on their last orchestral-inspired outing Valtari. The overly distorted bass and Jónsi Birgisson's signature cello-bowed guitar sounds and angelic vocals feature heavily on opening track Brennisteinn, which sets the tone for the album.
