Go contains nine songs amassed from the large pool of songs written by Jonsi during his many years with Sigur Ros. The album is sung in English and Icelandic, and was co-produced by Jonsi, his partner Alex Somers and Peter Katis (The National, Interpol). When he began working on Go, Jonsi initially thought he would be making a low-key, acoustic album until, as he says, "somewhere along the line, it just sort of exploded." that explosion resulted in sheer aural fireworks. not a straight ahead pop record, nor rock, folk, ambient or electronic, it encompasses all of these to create an expansive musical palette that's been brought to life by Jonsi alongside a number of free-spirited collaborators. chief among these is Nico Muhly, the Philip Glass protege who is renowned for his work with Bjork, Antony & The Johnsons, Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Grizzly Bear. Muhly has arranged all the songs on Go, bringing strings, brass and woodwind to dance playfully alongside his offbeat piano playing. add into the mix the percussive genius of Samuli Kosminen, whose original drumming powers many of the songs along, and you have a sonic landscape that bears little relation to anything else around today, yet explodes from the speakers with sheer happiness and wonder, wide-eyed and eager to be heard.
