DOWNLOAD: Riceboy Sleeps - Boy 1904 (MP3) (via)
"Known primarily for his haunting falsetto and other-worldly presence as the singer in Sigur Rós, Jon Thor Birgisson has - together with his partner Alex Somers - been exhibiting artwork and staging exhibitions under the name Riceboy Sleeps for two or three years now, including the release of a limited edition picture book. A couple of months back the early fruits of the musical side of this collaboration surfaced in physical form for the first time, with the track "Happiness", on the exemplary Dark Was The Night Red Hot compilation...Riceboy Sleeps' self-titled album will be released by XL Recordings on July 21st. "Happiniess" is track #1 (you can listen in the video below). "Boy 1904" is track #5. Grab it above. Full tracklisting, a video promo for the album, and cover art, also below...Now... the full-length Riceboy Sleeps album is finished and ready for release. And, as with "Happiness", it is set to subtly redefine expectations of slow and elegiac instrumental music in 2009." [XL]

It's nice background stuff but overall pretty boring. Dudes need to edit themselves a little. Not every jam session is a masterpiece.

"A couple of months back the early fruits of the musical side of this collaboration.."
Early fruits indeed.
Sorry, couldn't resist...

Interesting to see this kind of music getting posted on all the Indie/hipster music blogs. Not sure everyone will be into it though.

It is definitely an acquired taste.
not main-stream music, not even underground music.
This is in its own musical realm, really.
I personally find it the most dreamy, soothing, overwhelmingly calming music I have ever heard, but I can see where musically inept people are coming from when they say "it's boring."
But that is clearly because of their musical ineptness.
