Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi Birgisson has revealed that the band have scrapped recordings made for their next album, the follow-up to 2008's 'Með Suð I Eyrum Við Spilum'. Last year Icelandic newspaper Morgunblaðið reported that drummer Orri Dýrason had told them the album was "nearing completion".
Birgisson told Spinner: "We haven't got another album ready; it was just a rumour. We started to record something, but then we chucked it all away. So I think we are going to have to start it all again. [But] we are on a break at the moment. Everybody in the band is having babies".
In the meantime, Birgisson has been working on his debut solo album, 'Go', which features string arrangements by composer Nico Muhly. The album will be released on 22 Mar via XL.
