The ninth album from this band from Iceland.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
I have really enjoyed their albums after a shaky start with their debut album I am not a fan of. The rest of their albums more than prove that Sigur Ros is the undisputed kings of post-rock.
The band returned again after a four years long album break.
Valtari clocks in at fifty-five minutes.
The music here is post-rock.
The music is slow, cinematic and pretty pastoral throughout. The music is also dirge-like.
There are a lot of keyboards here and some vocals. The sound is very organic throughout.
The quality is good throughout. This is not their best album. It is still an album which cement their position as the best post-rock band around.
