Iceland’s resident ambient musicians might have released an album, 2012’s Valtari, less than a year ago, but they’re back — and moving in a darker, more aggressive direction. In support of their new album, Sigur Ros has been hitting the late-night talk show circuit, debuting the title song, “Kveikur,” on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon back in March, a performance that marked their first television appearance in nearly a decade.
They hit Leno a few weeks back with a repeat performance of the dense and soaring track, sure to thrill fans of their unique mélange of folk, classical, heavy metal, and dream-pop.
