It seems a bit boring to me, I don't know if it is really a genre

It is said that Sigur Rós is the most loved group by classical music lovers (excuse the pun)... Honestly, I believe it's not music to listen to at any time of the day, but I must say that some tracks are very interesting. The history and character of this group are also very compelling. A group that refuses to submit to labels, cares nothing for money and only pursues its own musical ideals (in this, apart from the music, they should be admired), which invents new sounds and has even invented a non-language. In fact, the language used in the song lyrics is often not Icelandic, but vonlenska, which is indeed an invented language created by the group itself without any meaning. Furthermore, they make extensive use of the cello bow, used on the guitar to find alternative sonorities. In short, a group with very eccentric habits but in constant search of its own artistic identity, pursuing its own goal and not letting itself be influenced by money, always ready to experiment with new sounds.
