Sigur Rós offers new LP details, free "Gobbledigook" download

UPDATE: Download the song here.

---

Sigur Rós isn't releasing its fifth album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, until June 23. But you can get a sneak peek at one of the first tracks off the album-- the Icelandic title of which translates to English as With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly-- this very afternoon.

Can it be true? Já! "Gobbledigook" will be played as a world exclusive on Radio 1 this afternoon with DJ Zane Lowe, and then the band will release it-- at 7:30 GMT (2:30 EST)-- as a free download on their website, SigurRós.com.

And that's not the only bonus material Sigur Rós is offering with this new album. A pre-sale for With a Buzz... will begin on June 2, also through the band's website, and anyone who pre-orders the album will then have access to a streaming version of the album beginning June 9.

With A Buzz... is the first album Sigur Rós made outside of its homeland of Iceland, recording in New York, London and Havana as well as Reykjavik. It will also mark the first time vocalist Jón Thor Birgisson sings a track in English. Bet you can guess which one that is. The rest of the album will be in Icelandic, sounding mythical and eerily beautiful, as per usual.

3. Góðan daginn
