Jonsi - Go

Go is the debut solo studio album by Icelandic musician Jónsi, originally released in March 2010 via Parlophone Records and XL Recordings.

Jónsi is the vocalist and multi-instrumentalist for the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós. He is known for his use of a cello bow on guitar and his falsetto or countertenor voice. Apart from Sigur Rós, Jónsi also performs together with his partner Alex Somers as an art collaboration called Jónsi & Alex.

Jónsi initially though he would be making a low-key, acoustic album until, as he says, "somewhere along the line, it just sort of exploded".

That explosion resulted in sheer aural fireworks, not a straight ahead pop record, nor rock, folk, ambient or electronic, it encompasses all of these to create an expansive musical palette that’s been brought to life by Jónsi alongside a number of free-spirited collaborators including the Philip Glass protégé Nico Muhly and the percussive genius of Samuli Kosminen.

Go has been out of print on vinyl for some time, and is being reissued on exclusive transparent red vinyl and released via Sigur Rós own record label, Krunk.

The album reached #23 on the US Billboard 200 and #20 on the UK albums charts.

This album is a 2020 reissue on red transparent coloured vinyl, pressed in Europe via Krunk.
