Takk means ‘thanks’ in Icelandic apparently, although personally I think that the thanks should be going in the opposite direction - because this is the best thing that Sigur Ros have given us so far. I managed to get two complete listens to this yesterday, and it truly is a stupendous album. They haven’t taken much detour from their usual paths and soundscapes, overlayed with great vocals (in whatever language they call that these days - Hopelandic?). The stand-out tracks for me are the single glósóli, and the last track which could be called heysatan (my tracklist is from the Sigur-Ros website) I will be buying this on the day of its release, 13th September, you should too. Its very very close to being perfect.
