Sigur Ros Applaud Radiohead's Way Of Releasing In Rainbows

Sigur Ros have shown their support for Radiohead and the radical way in which they released new album In Rainbows (review link) as a download, where fans could name their exact price.

Talking to The Sun, vocalist Jonsi Birgisson said: "I think it's cool what Radiohead did. It's a good idea that makes so much sense. Bands get so little money from every CD they sell anyway. Doing it like this, if they only get a few pounds, they might actually get more than before."

However, Birgisson did go on to add, "It's hard for young bands starting off. Radiohead have a name. They can do whatever they want. People are waiting for their album and they like their music so they would happily make a donation."

This coming Monday November 5th, Sigur Ros will release their DVD Heima and new companion soundtrack Hvarf-Heim.
