Clue explained
Rós completes Sigur Rós, the Icelandic band known for atmospheric post-rock. Its distinctive sound often features Jónsi’s high falsetto and electric guitar played with a bow. The group’s 1999 album Ágætis byrjun brought it wider international attention, and “Hoppípolla” became one of its best-known songs. The accent in Rós is part of the band’s usual styling.
