This band is incredible. Beautiful stuff. They are an Icelandic experimental group, sorta along the lines of Sigur Ros, but not as super epic. They're a slightly "simpler" sound, I guess, using electronic glitches and beeps and things, and their singer has a really beautiful voice; again, though, not beautiful in the "grand" sense of Sigur Ros, but more beautiful in the "adorable shy girl on stage" sorta way. Also, interesting Wikipedia-stolen tidbit: the sisters in this band were used in a photo that was an album cover for Belle and Sebastian. Eh? Eh?

Anyway, the CD Finally We Are No-One is an excellent starting point. Specifically, the songs "Green Grass of Tunnel" or "Don't Be Afraid, You Have Just Got Your Eyes Closed" are excellent starting points. Move out from there. You'll be glad you did, if you like this sort of stuff.
