Show Review: Sigur Ros @ Bass Concert Hall (10.04.24)
On a balmy October Friday night, opposite the insanity of the first night of the Austin City Limits Music Festival, something of another story altogether was brewing across town at the 40 acres. After skipping our fair city the last time around during this orchestral iteration, the Icelandic trio, Sigur Ros returned triumphantly to the University of Texas campus. The experiences between the Zilker park faithful in contrast those in attendance at the Bass Concert Hall could not have been starker. Here was the trio and their rotating accompaniment on their last show date of their 8-date orchestral tour in the US and in the process simply expanded time and altered consciousness. Adjectives and prose fail me to describe just how hauntingly beautiful, breathtakingly colossal, and overwhelmingly entrancing they can be when in form.
