I've been listening to this band for over a year now, and their sound is just amazing. If you haven't heard of them before, they are an Icelandic Band from Reykjavik, Iceland. There are four members who make up the band: Jón Þór Birgisson, Kjarta Sveinsson, Orri Páll Dýrason, and Georg Holm. The band name, I recently discovered, is named after the the lead singer's sister, Sigurros, but changed it to Sigur Ros=victory rose. Their sound is energetic and soft at the same time, and the milieu beat is just remarkable.

Check them out sometime.

Hello, My Name is Bryana.

2009-04-30T22:52:00.000-07:00

Hola, me llamo Bryana!

Hey, so this is my very first blog I have started and created it late (hahaa super late) last night. I decided to call my blog "Dream Lover", for now..I might change it later, but for now, I'm sticking with it. Why "Dream Lover" you may ask? Well, it kind of was a spur-of-the-moment type of thing. It's named after a shirt that I've wanted at Aritzia, great store by the way but it's kinda on the expensive side.

Anyways, it's raining right now and it's already been a long day soo I'll leave it at that.
