Get Jonsi's Go CD with Go Quiet DVD for a great low price!

The CD:
Jónsi has spent more than a decade writing epic compositions with Sigur Rós, creating some of the finest, most acclaimed albums of the last ten years.  The choice to make an album of solo recordings came together as a solution to a backlog of songs Jónsi had written that didn’t seem to fit within the Sigur Rós context.  Go is a different beast entirely.  Ecstatic, dramatic and alive, it features Jónsi’s signature vocals throughout, with the majority of the songs sung in English.
Not a straight ahead pop record, nor rock, folk, ambient or electronic, it encompasses all of these to create an expansive musical palette that’s been brought to life by Jónsi alongside a nuber of free- spirited collaborators.  Chief among these is Nico Muhly, the Philip Glass protégé who is renowned for his work with Björk, Antony & The Johnsons, Bonnie “Prince” Billy and Grizzly Bear.  Also in the mix is the percussive genius of Samuli Kosminen, whose original drumming powers many of the songs along so you have a sonic landscape that bears little relation to anything else around today, yet explodes from the speakers with sheer happiness and wonder, wide-eyed and eager to be heard.  The album was recorded in Iceland and Connecticut, was co-produced by Jónsi, Alex Somers and Peter Katis (The National, Interpol) and was mixed by Tom Elmhirst in London.
Go is also one of the most joyous collections of songs you’re ever likely to hear.  It’s an album that sounds like an artist entirely out on his own, doing exactly as he pleases, and from the creator of some of this decade’s most inventive, evocative music, we would expect nothing less. 

The DVD:
"The concept behind Go Quiet was simple : it's New Year's Day in Reykjavik, and Jónsi awakens to a trashed house in the wake of his party.  He avoids cleaning up and instead procrastinates by playing songs that reflect the night before, the bittersweetness of New Year, and the melancholoy of a year gone by." - director Dean DeBlois
Go Quiet is a film of Jónsi performing acoustic all the songs from his album Go.
