New Sigur Rós - “Gobbledigook” (MP3 & Video)

Best Band In The World alert. Thank you Sigur Rós, for making my post-holiday transition back to the internet so super great. This morning word spread that Sigur Rós's new album has a name (með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust), a translation ("with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly"), cheeky (as in ass-y) artwork, a sample track, a free MP3 (IT IS SO GOOD), and a video. A very NSFW video (IT IS ALSO SO GOOD). And there's more: Jonsi's gonna sing in English! On just one track, but still, pinning down the man's emotional conveyances via syllables with actual meaning will be a fairly new experience. There will be one tune in the journalist-coined Hopelandic language, but the rest will all be in the band's native Icelandic tongue, which makes the title of the first single and free download, "Gobbledigook," ironic in its own Rós-colored way. The band's released lots of information surrounding the release via official statement, which we've pasted in full post-jump for the benefit of fellow obsessives, but here are the details in nugget form [this is a so very Not Safe For Work jump, people]:
