yesterday, sigur rós held a secret acoustic show in gamla borg coffee shop, located in in the 100-person town of borg. in what must be the band’s most personal concert to date, friends and family were invited to come and listen to some unplugged songs while pancakes and waffles were served. the band was accompanied by amiina and played seven acoustic songs in total, one of which was brand new. the band will be heading to a summerhouse next month to record some of the new versions played yesterday, as well as some brand new acoustic songs.

setlist: von (new version), samskeyti, vaka, ágætis byrjun, new song, heysátan, starálfur
