TAKK... 20TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTER

Triple vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered 20th Anniversary edition. Sigur Ros reissue Takk on their own label Krunk. Their award winning highly lauded 4th studio album features the singles and fan favourites Glosoli, Hoppipolla and Saeglopur. Takk has been out of print for over a decade in the UK and is sold out world-wide. The record went Platinum in the UK and gold in the US. Takk was the one where they finally got happy, albeit in their own inimitable and deeply inscrutable, north Atlantic way. This is the record that gave the world Hoppipolla, a song which cemented Sigur Ros's reputation for being the go-to band for anyone wanting a sense of wonderful possibility in their film/TV show. The record also harboured moments of definitive Sigur Ros drama in singles Glosoli and Saeglopur, and high beauty in Se Lest and Svo Hljott. Takk which means thank you in the band's native Icelandic - quickly became the band's biggest selling album around the world, fuelled by Hoppipolla's usage in the BBC's Planet Earth nature series. Sung in a mixture of Icelandic and the wordless Hopelandic, Takk was recorded by the band with producer Ken Thomas in 2005 at their Sundlaugin studio in the Icelandic countryside.
