Sigur Rós graced Reddit with its awkward presence Thursday, discussing and answering questions about its seventh and latest LP (which has yet to be named). A preview of the band's dark new material is available below.
The band is also prepping for a world tour that will begin on Feb. 13—a tour it will complete as a trio, seeing as keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson left the group because he'd "spent half his life in the band and it was time to do something different."
