Named in part after a sister of one of the band members,
Sigur Rós ("Victory Rose") were formed in Reykjavik, Iceland by
guitarist and vocalist Jón Þór Birgisson, bassist Georg Holm, and
drummer Agust. Formed while each of the members were teenagers in
early 1994, the trio immediately cut a track that earned them a
deal with Iceland's Bad Taste label. Their debut LP, Von
("Hope"), was released in 1997, followed the next year by a
collection of remixes from that album, Recycle Bin. After Kjartan
Sveinsson joined the band on keyboards, the band recorded Ágætis
Byrjun ("Good Start"), which earned them numerous accolades in
their homeland. Agust then departed, who was quickly replaced by
Orri Páll Dýrason. The Svefn-G- Englar EP, their first release to
be distributed outside of their native country, was hailed as
NME's Single of the Week in September of '99. Another EP, Ný
Battery, followed in early '00. — Andy Kellman
