In an attempt to lure fans from the upcoming Joan of Arc tour, Sigur Rós have appended a 16-date tour of the U.S. onto their forthcoming February European jaunt. After pummeling the Europeans with their falsetto crooning and grandiloquent instrumentation for 15 climactic, world-weary days, the quartet will embark on their second US tour in support of ( ), beginning mid-March. The appropriately untitled tour will, once again, find the band exorcising their musical demons with pseudo-intelligible gobbledygook and pontifical hooey, guaranteed to procure a rise out of Radiohead leftovers and GY!BE aficionados.
