Sigur Ros Bin Nearly Finished Album

"Everybody in the band is having babies", apparently

Icelanders Sigur Ros have scrapped their nearly completed album to take a break as they prepare for the pitter-patter of tiny ambient feet.

In an interview with SpinnerMusic.co.uk, frontman Jonsi Birgisson said: "We haven’t got another [Sigur Ros] album ready – It was just a rumour. We started to record something, but then we chucked it all away. So I think we are going to have to start it all again.

"Yes we are on a break at the moment. Everybody in the band is having babies."

In May last year, a blog posted on blog on <a href="http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/news/?p=1313" target"out">Sigur-Ros.co.uk claimed the record was "near completion".
