A new song from Jónsi entitled: “Go Do” surfaced on the web late last week and today, an official video for the song premiered over at P4K which can be seen above. Directed by longtime Sigur Rós collaborators Arni & Kinski, this visually stunning video shows Jónsi surrounded by some feathered companions and string arrangements from the prolific Nico Muhly.
Jónsi’s solo debut effort Go will be out on April 9 via XL.
After releasing the colorful first single “Boy Lilikoi”, which is set to debut on Jónsi’s debut solo album Go, curiosity sparked just as to when the album would see the light of day. Well question no further. With musical arrangements being credited to Nico Muhly (worked with Grizzly Bear, Bjork, and many others) Go will drop April 6 via Parlophone / XL records Stateside and the day prior everywhere else in the world. The image that you see above is the album artwork, created by Jónsi’s sisters Inga and Lilja.

The density to almost any Sigur Rós composition is enough to fill an entire hall, yet Jónsi Birgisson — lead singer of the Icelandic band — still manages to find ways to topple over anything that he’s done in the past. Stepping out into the spotlight, Jónsi has revealed “Boy Lilikoi”, a single track that is set to appear on his forthcoming, album entitled Go. Go is said to be mostly sung in English and will feature the help from composer Nico Muhly — who has also worked with Grizzly Bear — along with production credits from Peter Kakis.
