Named in part after a sister of one of the bandmembers, Reykjavik, Iceland's Sigur Rós (Victory Rose) was formed by Jón Þór Birgisson, Georg Holm, and Ágúst Ævar Gunnarsson. Formed in early 1994 while the members were teenagers, the trio's first recorded song earned them a deal with Iceland's Bad Taste label. Their sprawling debut LP, Von (Hope), was released in 1997, followed the next year by collecting remixes from that album, Recycle Bin. Kjartan Sveinsson joined the band and recorded 1999's strings-heavy Ágætis Byrjun (Good Start), earning themselves numerous accolades in their homeland achieving platinum status in sales.
Svefn-G-Englar, their first international release, was hailed as NME's Single of the Week in 1999, launching a press hype steamroller in the U.K. and, to a lesser extent, in the U.S. The 'Ný Battery' single released in early 2000, the band's breakout year. British independent Fat Cat began distributing the band, stretching their reach beyond Icelanders and rabid journalists. Released in 2008, Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust found the group adding fairly straightforward pop songs to its sound alongside the traditionally epic soundscapes. After Sigur Rós completed touring for the album, they went on a hiatus. The group ended its hiatus in 2010, playing a set at the Coachella Festival. Their understated sixth studio album, Valtari (Steamroller), was issued in the following year. In 2019, the band celebrated the 20th anniversary of their landmark debut with a deluxe reissue of Ágætis Byrjun.
