It seems a ton of new album announcements have been touted, posted and talked about on music websites right now. I don’t know if its just the summer season or what.

Sigur Ros has offered up a preview of their new album here. As the video begins the words “Assault & Battery, May 2nd” appear as well as a clip of a new song and various footage of the band in the studio.

The band’s sole US tour dates so far are as follows…

06-11 Omaha, NE - Orpheum Theater
06-12 Kansas City, MO - Uptown Theater
