As I reported here before, Sigur Ros fans can expect a new album from the group, which have now just solidified some firm details about the release.

“On the heels of their 2007 live release “Heima,” Icelandic group Sigur Rós is preparing to release its next studio album, “Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust.” The album, which translated into English from Icelandic means “With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly,” is due June 24 via XL”.

The band worked with famed producer Flood (Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, and more…) and recorded for the first time outside of Iceland. The record was recorded in New York, London and Havana as well as Iceland.

This new album also marks the first time the band have written a song in English. The song is called “All Alright”, the tracklist for the new record is as follows…

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust:

01 Gobbledigook
02 Inní mér syngur vitleysingur
03 Góðan daginn
04 Við spilum endalaust
05 Festival
06 Með suð í eyrum
07 Ára bátur
08 Illgresi
09 Fljótavík
10 Straumnes
11 All Alright

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.
