=========================================
Sigur Rós (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈsɪːɣʏr ˈroːus] ( listen)) are an Icelandic post-rock band from Reykjavík,
who have been active since 1994. Known for their ethereal sound, frontman Jónsi Birgisson's falsetto vocals,
and the use of bowed guitar,[1] the band's music is also noticeable for its incorporation of classical and
minimalist aesthetic elements. The band is named after Jónsi's sister Sigurrós Elin.
"( )" is the third full-length album from Icelandic band Sigur Rós, first released in October 2002.
It comprises eight untitled tracks, divided into two parts: the first four tracks are lighter and more optimistic,
while the latter four are bleaker and more melancholic. The two halves are divided by a 36-second silence, and the
album opens and closes with a click of distortion. Lead singer Jón Þór Birgisson ("Jónsi") sang the album's lyrics
entirely in "Hopelandic", a made-up language consisting of gibberish words. "( )" reached #51 on the Billboard 200
and was positively received by critics, although some reviewers found the album weaker than the band's previous album
Ágætis byrjun.
