Iceland’s mysterious, massively beautiful quartet Sigur Ros returned earlier this summer with another breathtaking opus, the energizing “Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust” (“With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly”), which sees the band changing direction a bit, somewhat ditching its well-trodden road of ethereality and glacial soundscapes and charging ahead into pop construction and actual hooks. Does it work? You bet your giddy Icelandic ass it does, and leader Jonsi Birgisson’s voice hasn’t sounded this powerful since “Agaetis Byrjun.” The first four tracks, all notable because of their stunted lengths and rousing temperaments, set the colossal mood, and the album’s centerpiece, a nine-minute jaunt called “Festival” that features four minutes of Jonsi’s angelic voice on vulnerable display, could be the band’s finest epic to date. Live, the band’s always been magnetic and looks to be improving with age. If you haven’t heard “Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust,” get on it, it’s one of the best of the year. (Tom Lynch)
Sigur Ros plays September 24 at Chicago Theatre, 175 North State, (312)263-1138, at 8pm. $36.50.

- Drop and Go: A Review of Chris Greene Quartet’s “PlaySPACE” Chris Greene Quartet isn’t the first music act to drop a surprise album; over the past several year’s we’ve seen out-of-nowhere releases from everyone from Beyoncé to Wilco. As a marketing gimmick, it’s got something to recommend it; you can’t really listen to “PlaySPACE,” for instance, without ending up wanting to go see CGQ …, well, play SPACE.
- Mood Enhancer: A Review of Rick Vines’ “So Happy!” Vines maintains his own point of view throughout the album—at its end, you know exactly who he is—but there’s a passage in the song “Imaginary Man” where he might be addressing the burden of iconic influences this deep into the folk-rock canon’s chronology.
- Out From Under Covers: A Review of Joe Policastro Trio’s “Nothing Here Belongs” My favorite of the album's original tunes may be “Oceans of Notions,” where Avery clearly enjoys himself, chattering and clicking and rattling at Miller’s breezy guitar theme; he’s like a terrier running between Miller’s legs as he ambles along.
