After beginning earlier this summer in the UK, Sigur Rós‘ tour with the 41-piece Wordless Music Orchestra, supporting their first album in a decade, ÁTTA, stopped in NYC on Wednesday night (8/16) for a show at Beacon Theatre. It was their first US date since the trio of NYC dates they played last summer, and they sounded magestic augmented by the orchestra. See pictures from the show by Sachyn Mital and attendee-taken videos below.
Screenwriter Paul Schrader‘s alleged review from the show is going viral on social media:
