Sigur Ros (Icelandic: Sigur Rós) are an Icelandic post-rock band from Reykjavík, who have been active since 1994. Known for their ethereal sound, frontman Jónsi Birgisson's falsetto vocals, and the use of bowed guitar, the band's music is also noticeable for its incorporation of classical and minimalist aesthetic elements. The band is named after Jónsi's sister Sigurrós Elin. In the Icelandic language, Sigur and Rós mean, respectively, Victory and Rose. (more on wikipedia)
Peel started playing their music in 1999, when the band released their first single on import called Svefn-G-Englar. The DJ aired two songs from their performance at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival at Camber Sands in 2000, and there was a session same year, but he seemed to lose interest in them after 2001.
