Riceboy Sleeps


1. Happiness
2. Atlast Song
3. Indian Summer
4. Stokkseyri
5. Boy 1904
6. All the Big Trees
7. Daniell in the Sea
8. Howl
9. Sleeping Giant

Riceboy Sleeps is Jonsi Birgisson of Sigur Ros, and his boyfriend (yes, he's gay), Alex Somers. The album is a beautiful ambient record which I can only compare to Eluvium. At times, the music will remind you of the quietest Sigur Ros parts, but this is definitely NOT Sigur Ros. Every song is beautiful, relaxing, and very somber, especially the sarcastically titled opener "Happiness". I recommend this album to anyone who's a fan of Sigur Ros, obviously, and the ambient side of post-rock.

Stand out tracks: "Indian Summer", "All the Big Trees", "Howl"
