In which Icelandic post prog monsters go pop.
A delightful confection of pop oriented tunes which the occasional e-bow guitar, mellotron, angelic choirs occasional slip through betryaing past releases.
The title means "With a buzz in our ears we play endlessly" which perhaps describes the cathedral like ambience of their previous albums and not this generally low key selection. The album has a real "live" in the studio feel with little of the reverb/echo the band have traditionally used.
Stand out tracks are the catchy "Inní Mér Syngur Vitleysingur" and the indie-pop stylings of "Við Spilum Endalaust" - the rest is the usual fayre although the album tends to tail off towards the end.
