Music reviews of Riceboy Sleeps [Vinyl]
Music Review: Pure Bliss
Rating: 5 Stars
This album is absolutely incredible, and the vinyl experience is well worth it. If you already own the digital or CD version of this then you can attest to it's magnificence. And if you haven't heard it, then you really should wait no longer. I can't think of many who could claim to be a fan of Sigur Rós and not appreciate, if not fall in love with, this album. (Even if you're not a fan of Sigur Rós, or have never even heard of them, you should listen to this album. Definitely an all time favorite, not one to be passed up.)
As for the packaging, the album is packaged in a double slotted gatefold cover that has rounded corners and in paper inner sleeves, respectively.
The vinyls are high quality. 180 grams, I believe. It doesn't say, but it feels exactly like all the other 180g vinyls I have, if not sturdier.
At twenty eight dollars here on amazon, it's not relatively the cheapest double LP, but more than worth it.
Description of Riceboy Sleeps [Vinyl]
Jonsi (J¿n _¿r Birgisson) and Alex (Somers) worked on the album that became RICEBOY SLEEPS on and off for almost five years. After taking a month to finish and mix it, the result is an album that sounds remarkably like the band Jonsi fronts, Sigur Ros. A lot of times side projects serve as outlets for music that the band would never attempt; Riceboy Sleeps sounds like it's made of stray Sigur Ros moments the group spent tuning orchestras, warming up vocal choirs or checking levels. Fortunately even stray moments by Sigur Ros prove to be lovely and transcendent. The songs on the album drift on shifting waves of strings (provided by longtime SR collaborators Amiina), children's choirs, treated pianos and underwater soundscapes. The music Jonsi and Alex create is ambient but not boring, quiet but not sleepy (despite the name); the combination of sounds and the way the duo manipulate them manages to hold interest even though the songs are lengthy and have a very consistent tone. It's really less of a tone and more of a spell, the introspective, meditative songs take hold quickly and leave you feeling the album long after it stops spinning.Alternative Rock CDs
