I don't generally pay any attention to the facebook ads that say stuff like: "Sigur Ros fan? Check out so-and-so!" But this morning I said "what the hell, let's just see what THIS Sigur Ros fan thinks." The band being pitched this morning was Civil Twilight. And I hate to say it, but they are actually quite good. There is definitely a trace of the Sigur Ros style in "Letters from the Sky", but only a hint. They sound a lot more like U2 than Sigur Ros. I was disappointed to see that they are on the Wind-Up record label, which brought us the wretched, pseudo-Christian rock stylings as Creed. There's some Christian imagery in their song that I could do without, but it doesn't really ruin it. In fact, I very much like it.
