Jonsi and his wonder power

Last year during my monthly ritual of downloading the months Indie/Rock playlist i came across Jonsi. http://jonsi.com/ He is an Icelandic artist who is originally part of a band called Sigur Ros. He is known for his use of a cello bow on guitar and his falsetto voice which he aptly uses in many of his songs.  Interesting fact: He is blind in his right eye. 


He released his first solo album in April 2010 and then followed that with a world tour. The top songs in the album being Go Do and Animal Arithmetic. The songs are a wonderful melodic concoction of English and Icelandic and the beats won't fail to carry you away in excitement and happiness.
