I’m listening to “Exhale,” the latest single from Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi.

Dedicated readers know my concerning level of adoration for Sigur Rós, so it’s no surprise I love this song. Post-rock meets pop without sounding gimmicky, which I suppose is easy when you helped redefine the former.

Jónsi’s solo records are always impeccably engineered, and within my humble quarantine setup, it’s inspiration to slow down, dig in to what I have, and be incrementally less terrible.

Cooped up in my cozy little home, it’s not surprising I’m gravitating towards atmospheric, epic music, stuff I can close my eyes to and let my imagination expand into a world I know is out there, reeling and erratic but poised for a renaissance.
