Sigur R\u00f3s<\/strong> are one of the most successful Icelandic bands of all time, their origins dating back to 1994, when three teenagers, J\u00f3nsi Birgisson<\/strong>, \u00c1g\u00fast \u00c6var Gunnarsson<\/strong> and Georg H\u00f3lm<\/strong>, joined together to form a band. The choice of the name Sigur R\u00f3s<\/strong> is dictated by the fact that Birgisson’s granddaughter named Sigurr\u00f3s was born, a very common name in Iceland meaning “rose of victory.” After a first single, “Flj\u00fag\u00f0u,” they were immediately noticed by Bj\u00f6rk<\/strong>, who included the song on her own record. Sigur R\u00f3s<\/strong> remained confined to Icelandic territory until their first album, “Von,” saw the light of day in 1997, followed in 1998 by a remix, “Recycle Bin.” In 1999 the band released “\u00c1g\u00e6tis Byrjun,” which achieved great international success. I Sigur R\u00f3s<\/strong> they begin to achieve prestigious recognition outside Iceland as well, and, thanks to their triumph, they front bands such as Godspeed You!<\/strong>, Black Emperor<\/strong> and to the Radiohead<\/strong>, as well as participating in numerous festivals around Europe, also receiving positive reviews from Entertainment Weekly and The Wire in the United States. At the end of 2001, “\u00c1g\u00e6tis Byrjun” was declared The Best Icelandic Album of the Century. Many songs by the Icelandic group have been included in soundtracks for movies, TV series and video games. These include Cameron Crowe<\/strong>‘s “Vanilla Sky,” Danny<\/strong> Boyle<\/strong>‘s “127 Hours,” Giulio Berruti<\/strong>‘s “Taste of Love,” Wes Anderson<\/strong>‘s “The Aquatic Adventures of Steve Zissou,” and “Dragon Trainer.” Sigur R\u00f3s<\/strong> then wrote the entire soundtrack for Cameron Crowe<\/strong>‘s “My Life is a Zoo.” While several tracks are featured in the TV series “The Walking Dead,” “The Vampires Diaries” and “Game of Thrones,” and in trailers for the video games “The Prince of Persia,” “Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag,” and “Dead Space.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They are one of the most successful Icelandic bands of all time, their “\u00c1g\u00e6tis Byrjun” being the Best Icelandic Album of the Century.
