Shimmering, lumbering, beautiful music from these Icelandic boys, recorded at Alafoss, their studio built in an indoor swimming pool that they bought. This was recorded on Soundscape, and mixed at Real World Studios with Ken Thomas. One of my favorite late night records. Look for an interview in Tape Op with singer Jonsi later this year.

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
by John Baccigaluppi
OK, so this isn't a CD, but rather a documentary film about making a CD, this year's excellent Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Chicago's Wilco. About a third of the film is studio scenes in the band's loft...
