Sigur Ros Inspired By Eurovision For New Single

Sigur Ros have revealed that new single 'Gobbledigook' was in fact influenced by Eurovision, say the band.

Singer Jonsi Birgisson told The Sun, "We were in a rented farmhouse, it was a long evening, we watched the whole contest. Afterwards our brains were so fried we had to write 'Gobbledigook'".

Birgisson also explained the benefits of Sigur Ros writing new album 'Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust' much quicker than normal: "When you release an album the usual way, you have to wait sometimes more than a year before it is finally released."

"It's always going to be an anti-climax... With this being spontaneous and quick, it was much more exciting."

The album 'Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust' is out now.
