"Riceboy Sleeps" is a collaboration between Jónsi Birgisson of Sigur Ros fame and partner Alex Somers of Parachutes. Prior to this release, Birgisson and Somers went under the moniker Riceboy Sleeps, collaborating in multiple visual arts projects and having even released a picture book together! Going under their own names for their debut release; "Riceboy Sleeps" hosts 9 beautifully illustrative and imaginative soundscapes. Recorded in Iceland, Jónsi & Alex have met once again with long time collaboraters and all female string quartet, Amiina, as well as the Kópavogsdætur choir to create something so uplifting yet slightly melancholic at times. This is the perfect record to relax and reflect on, I will be looking forward to more releases in the future!
