A friend of mine named Ryan from Alaska emailed me frantically as soon as this video was up on Jónsi’s website telling me I had no choice but to watch immediately.

Since it was an emergency I ran out of the meeting I was in and watched the vid, thanks Ryan for the heads up.

I’ve been doing hard time waiting for this album since I heard Boy Lilikoi on Kitsune Noir’s mixcast No.020.

Bobby (Kitsune Noir) has a great little write-up of the song also.

I think Jónsi looks like an Icelandic mad hatter. Or that he’s part of some crazy tribe that never existed. Or maybe he’s just crazy, all of which I totally buy. There seems to be this frantic energy in some of the songs released in 2010, but in the context of childlike enthusiasm. He climbs a tree, he throws things, he beats on things.

The Animal Collective Brothersport riff (come on, it’s a riff) has a similar feeling. Jam sesh, kids, running around, and a touch of drugs.

Anyway, here are the goods:
