Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
It doesn’t take an archaeological genius like Indiana Jones to decipher the messages embedded in the lyrics of Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós. Even the band has admitted that its completely fictional language, Volenska, is a bunch of gibberish that doesn’t quite mean anything, yet seems to “fit perfectly with what the song is supposed to sound like.” However, for hipster-intellectual types, we’re sure the band’s epic and elaborately orchestrated songs have more meaning per syllable than even frontman Jónsi Birgisson would like to admit.
Experience Sigur Rós’ melodic new tunes from the band’s latest full-length album, as well as Birgisson’s distinct falsetto, when the group visits Marquee Theatre.
