The first half of the show however is taken up with All Animals, the EP that was recorded at the same time as Riceboy Sleeps. Very much a prelude to tonight’s main piece it slowly presents itself as a clean, choral-supplemented orchestral drone that, live, recalls the likes of Stars Of The Lid.
Jonsi
Verizon Theatre, Grand Prairie
October 25, 2010
Better than: The last show I saw at Verizon Theatre--Brian Wilson. I don't even think his keyboard was plugged in.
Jonsi's performance on Monday night at Verizon Theatre was like watching a man go free.
No longer held up by the trappings of Sigur Ro
Only a few scant youtube videos some myspace info and a couple of promo articles prepared me for what I was about to witness and even that proved of little use.
Then the woodland combusts and the wolf explodes into paint and it's clear solo Jonsi is a more unusual creation than Sigur Ros have (so far) allowed themselves to be.
