I have two song addictions at the moment, this being the first I want to share. To me, it is utterly beautiful.

Brennisteinn by Sigur Rós.

I bet I've posted this before. But I'm still quite happy with this cover version of an old Velvet Underground track. Vocals by the wonderful Lisa DeBenedictis.

Music to pilot you through your night/day.

Paul Lester of 'The Guardian' wrote: "In the same way that Brian Wilson was, after the traumatic Smile period, seeking solace in the past, trying to recapture the innocent joy of the nascent Beach Boys, so these kids create drowsy, hazy songs on a budget that sound like classic radio-pop heard while half-asleep at night or half-awake in the morning. All shaky amateur vocals (courtesy of married couple Keith F and Linda L), tape hiss and FX-laden 'tronics over brief spurts of sublime melody, Trouble Books, like everyone from Ariel Pink to Washed Out, make you think of an alternate-reality Brian Wilson who, instead of the most commercially successful American songwriter of his generation, became a minor, misunderstood cult artist making crackly, cheapo synth ditties in his bedroom."
