An ambitious, mesmerising soundscape combining delicate acoustic playing with layers of piano, choirs and lush orchestration, Riceboy Sleeps marked the debut work of Jón Þór Birgisson with his partner Alex Somers, attracting a devoted following on the strength of tracks like the glimmering “Happiness” and “Boy 1904”.
