“I first heard Sigur Rós in 2000. I could not stop listening to them. Sigur Rós create entire universes with their sound: imaginary places populated by desires and colors and feelings that belong solely to the fleetingly understood realm of music. Kronos had to play their music.”
This single includes two staples of Kronos’ live concerts for several years: an arrangement of Icelandic experimental rock group Sigur Rós’s “Flugufrelsarinn” (“The Fly Freer”) and an arrangement of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” inspired by American guitarist Jim Hendrix’s performances of the US national anthem.
