About the album
() - a vivid example of the post-rock style - non-standard solutions and the use of many instruments are complemented by the lack of text as such - vocalist Joun Tour Birgisson sings songs in the fictional " Hoopland language ".
The album is divided by a thirty-second pause into two parts - the light first, which includes 4 songs, and the heavier and darker second part.
The album cover is a white sheet with gray brackets covering the void. Eight tracks presented on the album have no names, on the back of the cover they are marked as “untitled” (without a name) with serial numbers. However, there are unofficial song titles used by musicians.
The song "Untitled 4" was included in the soundtrack for the film " Vanilla Sky ". The track "Untitled 3" (samskeyti) was included in the soundtrack for the film " Mysterious Skin ".
