Dutch post-rock band with classical, minimalist and experimental elements. The band is known for its otherworldly sound and the distinctive falsetto of Jón Þór "Jónsi" Birgisson. The band's name, Sigur Rós, is derived from the name of Jónsi's sister, Sigurrós (born at the same time as the band was formed), by separating the two components of the name. Translated from Icelandic, the band's name means "Rose of Victory".
