In their own inimitably glacial style, the Icelandic boys release the first track from their untitled LP - six months after the album was launched.

It lasts over six minutes - so don't expect to hear it on the radio. Vocal effects and odd samples float in and out while a central looped melody works its way into the brain.

Warm, inventive and unlike anything else out there, this is a track to spark dreams rather than sing along to.
