Sigur Rós

Icelandic band SIGUR RÓS is the second most important cultural export item of Iceland (with BJÖRK being the first). The unique style of the band is easily recognizable: melancholic, “cosmic” and relying to complex sound, a post-rock with "melodic, minimalistic and classic elements". Despite not employing typical music ways to get to wide popularity, the band is truly famous. One can listen to their tracks in many movies (an Icelandic episode of The Simpsons being one of these).
