As an Icelander, we hate small talk...

How did Paul get stuck in the third dimension somebody please riddle me that

I see it as a normal interview

Theyre just not talkative or arent used to being interviewed in English

Goldston….The finest of them all.

still working on getting into that French museum

An unbearably boring interview with people who make unbearably boring music.

Brilliant! Absolutely telling. When you ask stupid rote questions this is how every hard working person should answer. It's disingenuous the way most interviewers/media personnel are. Ask them a heartfelt intelligent question and you'll see them talk their mouths off! eg - th-cam.com/video/Yta36Ry8UFc/w-d-xo.html

Icelandic people seem to be very evolved, highly conscious and mostly quiet. I spent 8 days in Iceland and found myself in one too many an awkward situation when i tried to tell stupid american jokes or make small talk. I love Iceland and its' people with all my heart! Land of Magic and Beauty! And Sigur Ros' music captures IT!

Tbtl brought me here.

Very very introverted guys. They are silent like this, but when they play music they just explode emotionally. Some of the questions were dumb though. Did he seriously ask them on whether Hopelandic is actual lyrics?

Apparently the interviewer ran into the band again back stage at a music festival. Once he (Justin Hawkins) reminded the band of who he was, they all had a good laugh and the band apologized for the awkward interview. I guess they were still quite new to the game and there might have been a bit of a language barrier as well.. Heard this on NPR this morning while Justin Hawkins was reminiscing on the story!

Why doesn’t someone draw the tesseract over and over again? That would look pretty

Bunch of jerks but they made a few really nice atmospheric songs.

Funny enough, the lack of communication was a language barrier That interviewer went on to say that he met up with them a couple years later and they apologize profusely to him and when they were talking to him he could tell that they had much better English at the time so it was purely them probably just embarrassed to speak poor English and give a short answer as possible to avoid that.

bro if i was the interviewer they would have to put me on s****de watch after this

The 3rd dimension, “a wrinkle in time” is talking about, is that 3rd cube, but only showing three sides, front, top and one side. ____ /___/ | |___|/ The cube u show is a 4d representation in 2d; top, bottom, two sides. A fifth dimension is space, not time. There is no time, just your position in space.

Bunch of cunts. Totally over rated and so far up their own arses

Pull my teeth out and pluck my pubes one at a time until I'm bald in the bollocks area, and it would be less painful than this.

It's like the Beatles interview when they went to the USA in 1964. For some reason it reminds me of the Swedish chemist shop sketch. Say the following in a Scandinavian accent. "Good afternoon. I would like some deodorant, please?" "Certainly, sir. Ball or aerosol." "Neither. I want it for my armpits."

I don’t think they like talking about how “weird” their music is, and he was sort of concentrating on that. He was also asking really non-engaging yes-or-no questions. You’ve got to engage your interviewees more than that.

hahaha

Hi there! Thanks for this fabulous, clear (sort of? ha ha) explanation of a tesseract... who could we contact about permission to use this film in our teaching video on A Wrinkle in Time?

It's like they are purposely trying to give as short and vague responses as they possibly can 😂

Their music is bland as well

Rude.

God I love this! 😂😂

I love how silent they are after the first question

hope the interviewer got fired after this. why would anyone who creates want to be felt worshipped

"Speak softly and carry a big instrument." - Roosevelt if he were a member of Sigur Ros.

It’s funny how many people think Sigur Ros are rude. The questions are so bland and vague, they don’t deserve being dignified with an answer. The guy is sitting in front of virtuoso’s and he’s asking how they make a song. How dense can you be. This band needs to be interviewed by someone competent like Nardwuar. He would break through the cultural differences and really get into the nittygritty with these gentlemen. Not to mention once the interviewer has the self realization that he is failing, instead of looking within, he makes a sassy remark about the interview being fascinating. Cringe.

The questions fucking suck. Ask them something real.

I feel like they definitely could have opened up more but also, the framework of the questions were very yes, no type questions. The interviewer hopefully learns some open dialog techniques.

As a big introvert myself, this situation here is completely familiar to me.

They are usually much more vocal in interviews. This guy just really sucks at not making it feel so unorganic.

The hell is their problem

Good lord this is brutally hilarious. Theyre just as pretentious as their music sounds.

Americans tend to expect too much from the wrong nouns. They’re looking in all the wrong places.

I see many comments telling that they are rude or uninterested, but we don't take account that they come from Iceland and it's a different culture. I've met a couple of Icelanders once and they can be quite difficult to meet, also many friends can tell me the same experience and it's not bad it's just different. Because of their culture they are not really so much easy to be really open, but of course they can be open when they want, specially if they consider you a person to trust. That's the reason of those very simple answers, it's because they don't want to reveal too much of their process, of course they have their own process of making music because they play really precisely. Maybe it's too personal to reveal how they make music, maybe they don't overthink it but always there's a way that we musicians make our music even if it's personal or if it's simple. It's not like "we simply create it" they have their ideas and processes but maybe they are not fancying to tell everyone about it.

4:03 what does he say?

hmmm..

Nothing like thinking it's cool to make someone else's job harder.

how dreary they are

I see nothing wrong with the interview. The interviewer was asking inane questions and they had nothing to say. It was fine...

Vibe: Kurt Cobain's sarcasm and dismissal of interviewers times 10.

The greatest interview ever. Totally captivated by the silence.

These questions are the music equivalent of Adam Eget asking, "Where do you get your ideas from?" on Norm MacDonald Live.

White on white.

Justin Hawkins brought me heeeeeeere...... (you can sing this sentence using the same melody of Justin's theme)
