Blóðberg

"Blóðberg" is Sigur Rós first new music in seven years. The Icelandic post-rock veterans shared the new single on June 12, 2023, just before the members kicked off their Europe and North American tour. It is the lead single from Átta, Sigur Ros' first new album in 10 years, which they surprise released four days later.

Sigur Rós' comeback album and new track also marks the return of multi-instrumentalist Kjartan Sveinsson to the band. Sveinsson had departed the band in 2012, saying he wanted to do something different.

Clocking in at seven minutes, the song's sonic landscape is enriched by the orchestral contributions of The London Contemporary Orchestra, conducted by Robert Ames. Their collaborative efforts enhance the ethereal and transcendent quality that Sigur Rós is renowned for.
