Jonsi, Go Do

Posted by Justin on February 27th, 2010 | No Comments

It’s what I do – pick random, obscure music. If Bjork were a boy – she’d be Jonsi. Jón “Jónsi” Þór Birgisson is the lead singer of Sigur Ros who is venturing into the world of solo artistry. Interesting facts? Blind in his right eye. He’s openly gay and his boyfriend does much of the artwork for Sigur Ros and they even made an album together. He’s a vegetarian.

Now, the music/the art. His first single from his solo album, Go, is called Go Do and the video is pretty intense. I will say this of the Icelandic people – they are truly in tune with the environment and nature more so than I sense other people are. Probably because they are thrown into an intense bit of climate and live on volcanic islands in the northern Atlantic. Hodge-podge ensues. This music, or style of music, will not be for everyone’s taste as it is unconventional and veers from most pop structures, etc. Regardless, I still enjoy something about it. The lightness, that’s what I enjoy about it. Just seems like a song that makes you want to run in tall grass at dusk in the summer. Check out the video for the planning of his live show – it looks amazing.
