Sigur Ros is on an indefinite break and will not release a new album in 2010, as previously thought, their frontman Jonsi Birgisson has confirmed while being interviewed by Spinner.
The four-piece who released Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust in 2008, stated on their website last year that their sixth album was “nearing completion,” adding that “the album is taking form as a slower and more ambient record.”
However, with his first solo album Go set to release on Mar. 22, Jonsi says recording was scrapped after a just few weeks in their Sundlaugin studio in Iceland.
He said: “We haven’t got another [Sigur Ros] album ready. It was just a rumour. We started to record something, but then we chucked it all away. So I think we are going to have to start it all again.”
When asked if the band are on a break whilst Jonsi releases and tours his own album, he confirmed, “Yes we are on a break at the moment. Everybody in the band is having babies.”
