Jónsi has a new album called Go. The full tracklist is below and the first song "Boy Lilikoi" can be downloaded on jonsi.com, where you will also find some music samples and behind-the-scenes stuff.

"Go" will be released the week of april 05, 2010 around the world. Here is what manager John Best had to say about it:

For years - I mean literally since I've known him (10 years now) - Jonsi has been beavering away in his kitchen, bedroom or living room making music extra-curricular to Sigur Ros. To be honest we'd kind of gotten used to these being drawing board propositions only - the ambient album, the electronic album, the pop album, the acoustic album, etc. It's not that we didn't doubt his work ethic; these things certainly existed, it's just that they seemed more conceptual than real; creation to sate Jonsi's enormous energy rather than anything we'd ever have to put on a release schedule. But then last year he went and finished 'Riceboy Sleeps', an album that had existed as a soundtrack to his and Alex Somer's artwork far in advance of being an actual record. And then he started on about the *acoustic* album and bounced straight off the back of 'Med sud i eyrum...' into the studio (alright, apartment) with Icelander-by-proxy Nico Muhly.

It seemed apparent to us that it would be missing a trick to limit a bona fide Jonsi solo album to being a small scale acoustic project, so some subtle cajoling and encouragement to reach beyond his comfort zone was the order of the day. we shot the breeze about producers and Peter Katis's name came up off the back of his work with Fanfarlo and The National. Jonsi weighed in with drummer Samuli from Mum, who he'd heard playing with Alex in Nordic art supergroup Kira Kira. Suddenly the *acoustic* record wasn't looking so acoustic after all. From then on it's been a slow and ineluctable slide towards the full-on, barely contained, glorious mayhem soon to be available on 'Go'.

Everything about this record has a seat of the pants feel about it, its wildly shifted focus, the way nothing (including the album itself) had a title til about an hour before the news hit the blogs; the fact that as I type I still have no idea what is going to be on the cover; or that, even though Jonsi is currently on a plane to New York to master the record we've no clear idea of what order the songs are going to appear in, or even, in some cases, which versions of songs are going to be used. It's edge of the seat, it's exciting, it's infectious. I think we are beginning to sense that maybe Jonsi has created something super special here. More than that in fact, I think he has created something really special here. I'm not sure I've felt this excited about a project since the time I first heard Agaetis Byrjun, right back in 1999. Holy fuck. Are you ready?.

"Go do"

Go sing too loud
Make you voice break Sing it out

Go scream do shout
Make an earthquake

You wish fire would die and turn colder
You wish young eye could see you grow older
We should always know that we can do anything

Go drum do proud
Make your hands ache Play it out

Go march through crowds
Make your day break

You wish silence released noisy drummers
You wish white noise surrendered to summer
We should always know that we can do everything

Go do
You'll know how to
Just let yourself fall into landslide

Go do
You'll know how to
Just let yourself give into the flood tide
Go do

Tie strings to clouds
Make your own lake
Let it flow

Throw seeds to sprout
Make your own break
Let them grow

Let them grow
Endless summers
Let them grow
Go through it drummers

You wish surprise would never has don't wonders
You wish sunrise would never fall under

We should always know that we can do anything
Go do

"Animal Arithmetic"

Wake up
Cut my hair
Making food disappear
Riding bikes
Making out
Elephants run you down
You and I
Run away
Blushing cheeks
Howling wolves
Colorful fireworks

Every time
Everyone
Everything's full of life
Everyday
Everywhere
People are so alive

We should all be alive
We should all be alive

(Icelandic)

We should all be alive
Exist all in love, the life
We should all be alive
Come yourself let's grow and live

I see you colorful
I see you in the trees
I see you spiritful
You are in the breeze

I see it in your hands
Tree fingers draw a beam
I see you in the sand
Roll down the stream

I see you in the trees
I see you colorful
I see you in the breeze
You are spiritful

Tree fingers draw a beam
I see it in your hands
You are rolling down the stream
You are in the sand


Tornado

You grow, you roar
Although disguised
I know you
You know to know

You grow, you grow like tornado
You grow from the inside

Destroy everything through
Destroy from the inside

Erupt like volcano
You flow through the inside

You kill everything through
You kill from the inside

I wonder if I'm allowed ever to see
I wonder if I'm allowed to ever be free
You sounds alike you
You now alike you
You know as like you
You now alike you
I wonder if I'm allowed just ever to be

Boy Lillikoi

I want to be a lilikoi, Boy lilikoi
You grind your claws, you howl, you growl
Unafraid hoipolloi
You run, you are free
You climb endless trees, you re-ignite
You growl, you howl
You show your teeth
You bite, it's alright

You say no more
Use your eyes
The world goes and flutter by
Use your eyes
You'll know you are
Use your eyes
The world goes and flutter by
Use your eyes
You'll know you are

Wild beam, wild boy
You burn so bright
Do you illuminate
One day you run out, you give up the fight
Let's slow down, heart rate

We all grow old
Use your life
The world goes and flutter by
Use your life
You'll know you are
Use your life
The world goes and flutter by
Use your life
You'll know you are

Electricity wires shut down
Rainbow colors fade into brown
And all curious smile shifting for scowl
Courageous boy, now you are clown
You antarctic hair,get off the crown
You spirit friends, now were goes on

You run...

I want to be a lilikoi, Boy lillikoi
You grind your claws, you howl, you growl
Unafraid hoipolloi

Electricity wires shut down
Rainbow colors fade into brown
And all curious smile shifting for scowl
Courageous boy, now you are clown
You antarctic hair,get off the crown
You spirit friends, now were goes on


'Sinking Friendships'

I'm swimming in the blue
Nigh misfortune
A lively like a glue
My eyes are soddenness through

Our sinking friendships
We drowned all
I'm singing sad new
It's a song add to you

We should all wear two lifesaving layer
We should all wear two

No one knows you, till is over
You know no one true, till is over

Our lips are a pale blue
Are shivering half-moon
My last night's lost tune
It's the end of the end of the end
Our sinking friendships
We drowned all
I'm singing sad new
It's a song add to you

We should all wear two lifesaving layer
We should all wear two

No one knows you, till is over
You know no one true, till is over


Around Us

I see the walls
And see them fall
We break through them all

I see you crawl
But you stand tall
Grow and grow till tall

In storm we scream
Against the stream
Our eyes watering

Jump into lakes
The surface breaks
I swim underwater
And melting now into you

We all want to grow
With the seeds we will sow
We all want to go
With the breeze we will grow
We all want to know
Where we are meant to go
To a place you and I own the home

Icy forest
A treasure chest
Full of labyrinth

I see a door
Holes in the floor
Build bridges we sweep across

There's sounds, songs you bring to us
You pin both the wings on us
I hear it, I see you sing for us
You go tie a string around us

We all want to grow
With the seeds we will sow
We all want to go
With the breeze we will grow
We all want to know
Where we are meant to go
To a place you and I own the home

 

Grow till tall

You'll know
Someone to want truly believe one
to grow and grow till tall
They all, in the end, will fall
