Jónsi announces new album 'First Light'

Following on from his much-loved 2021 LP 'Obsidian', Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi has now announced his plans for a new solo album, arriving next month.

The new full-length 'First Light' is being previewed by the lead singles 'Flicker' and 'Cherry Blossom', and is set to be released on the 30th August.

Speaking about the new record, he said, “Writing this music at a time of manmade global turmoil and unrest for a video game. I imagined First Light as a momentary fantastical, over-the-top, utopian world where everyone and everything lives together in everlasting peace and harmony. Choosing beauty over disorder, hope over fear, our universal divine angel guardians watching over us and connecting us all as one through love, melody, and music.”
