Sigur Ros - Hlemmur (2003)

 

The sixth album from this band from Iceland.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of synths and programming. 

The band returned again after a one year long album break. This time with another movie soundtrack.

Hlemmur clocks in at forty minutes.

The music is ambient post-rock.

Cinematic rock is another very good label here as this is a movie soundtrack.

These forty minutes consists of small pieces of music which clearly work best within a movie setting. One of the pieces reminds me of the well known Abide By Me psalm.  

The music is both sad and melancholic.

This is clearly not a fully blooded Sigur Ros studio album. It is still a decent enough album and worth checking out if minimalistic cinematic rock is your thing.
