Sigur Ros: Varuo 10″

As if the beautiful music and pic sleeve wasn’t enough, XL has pressed up this record to play in reverse! The 10″ baffled our audio recorders for a moment as the needle refused to play into the grooves, but alas, we tried playing it from the inside out and it worked! A strange novelty, but extremely cool novelty for sure. This super limited edition single from Sigur Ros features the epic and euphoric “Varuo” lifted from their recent Valtari full length, plus the unreleased track “Logn.” Recommended.
