Did You Know:
Vonlenska (English: Hopelandic) is a term coined by the band to refer to the vocalizations that Jónsi sings on ( ) in lieu of lyrics in Icelandic. It takes its name from "Von", a song on Sigur Rós's debut album Von where it was first used. However, not all Sigur Rós songs are in Vonlenska; many are sung in Icelandic.
Vonlenska differs from both natural and constructed languages used for human communication. It consists of strings of meaningless syllables containing non-lexical vocables and phonemes. There is no grammatical relation between or among syllables, nor are they accompanied by clearly defined word boundaries. Vonlenska emphasizes the phonological and emotive qualities of human vocalizations, and it uses the melodic and rhythmic elements of singing without the conceptual content of language.
In this way, it is similar to the use of scat singing in vocal jazz and puirt à beul in traditional Irish folk music and Scottish. The band's website describes it as "a form of gibberish vocals that fits to the music".
Quotes:
"Sigur Rós was formed in Reykjavik in 1994. 4 January 1994, to be precise"
-Jon Þor "Jonsi" Birgisson
"I think we don't like to be a political band, we don't like to make statements - we usually don't like bands who make crazy statements. If you're going to do it you have to be educated about it, know what you're talking about. But it's nice how it turns out in the movie - it's mild, more pictures talking."
-Jon Þor "Jonsi" Birgisson
