Jónsi & Alex, the side project of Sigur Rós' Jon Thor Birgisson, makes good use of angelic choir vocals, which hum warmly over a gradual build of celestial electronics. The group is a partnership between Birgisson and Alex Somers and they released their debut,
Riceboy Sleeps, this summer after five years of recording together.
