Riceboy Sleeps
March 4, 2009
I don’t do much Sigúr Ros reporting around here. I must admit that I lost interest after the first record because frankly, a lot of it sounds like Yanni for the cool kids. But there is a time and place for these kinds of sonic sound-scapes, I’ve seen some cool modern dance pieces soundtracked by Sigúr Ros, and they are a good thing to pop in when your parents come over. I was very happy to get a heads up from the effervescent Larry Bob, of Holy Tit Clamps, that the singer for Sigúr Ros and his BF are collaborating on a project called Riceboy Sleeps. They put out a gorgeous book (now out of print) of drawing and poems and have a few songs up on ye olde myspace. Familiar stuff, always with the dreaminess, but maybe the romantic nature of the partnership adds a little tension, some sex-cloud that I appreciate.
