SUMMARY:An evening with Jónsi
DESCRIPTION:AN EVENING WITH JÓNSI\n\nThe release date of Jónsi's debut solo album, Go, has been confirmed for the week of April 5th around the world. Featuring nine songs drawn from the large pool of material amassed by Jónsi during his many years as the frontman for Sigur Rós, and arranged in collaboration with classical wunderkind Nico Muhly ("one of the hottest composers on the planet" according to Daily Telegraph).  
*World tour*
Meanwhile, details of his first live concerts outside of Sigur Rós have been announced  The shows which start in North America in April, will feature a brand new band and a stage set designed by 59 Productions http://bit.ly/c4gYjr. Both the band and stage set promise to be absolutely spectacular. The idea of the stage collaboration with 59 Productions is to bring together the worlds of theatre and music in a new and unique way. The ideas remain very much "in development", but there will be many surprises.
 
*New video*
The first week of February was also when everyone finally got to see the video for 'Go Do', the first single from Go. Directed by Arni & Kinski (previously responsible for no fewer than six Sigur Rós videos), the video was filmed on location in Iceland during the holiday season, which is quite an achievement when you consider there are only four hours of daylight at that time of year.
 
*Acoustic set*
For those who can't get enough of the album, you can hear how three of the songs sounded before Nico got his hands on them and, in Jónsi's words, made them "explode", by going to Jónsi's Soundcloud page at http://bit.ly/9ebWE2. Here you can listen to the man and his acoustic guitar navigate their way through his first ever live radio session last week on WNYC, New York.
