A band known for unforgettable live performances makes its Thai debut this Sunday. Iceland's four horsemen of the post-rock apocalypse Sigur Rós are bringing their singular live experience to Bangkok with a show at Moonstar Studio.
Reviews of the band see journalists reaching for the thesaurus in an attempt to describe Sigur Rós, unleashing a torrent of adjectives such as portentous, otherworldly, transcendent and ethereal. Some are moved a step further to employ overwrought sentiments, with one likening the music to God's golden tears. But what one sees across the band's press coverage is near unanimous praise of its live shows.
