Riceboy Sleeps is the debut studio album by ambient duo Jonsi & Alex, released on 20 July 2009. The album is an artistic collaboration between Sigur Ros vocalist Jon Thor (Jonsi) Birgisson and partner Alex Somers which features acoustic instrumental music alongside a string quartet, Amiina, and the Kopavogsdetur Choir.
Jonsi & Alex - Riceboy Sleeps (2009)
Known primarily for his haunting falsetto and other-worldly presence as the singer in Sigur Ros, Jon Thor (Jonsi) Birgisson had–together with his partner Alex Somers–been exhibiting artwork and staging exhibitions under the name Riceboy Sleeps for two or three years before the early fruits of the musical side of this collaboration surfaced in physical form for the first time, with the track "Happiness", on the exemplary Dark was the Night Red Hot compilation.
The first full length release from Jonsi and Alex–Riceboy Sleeps (the name having migrated from artist moniker to album title)–is human in a profound and verging-on spiritual way. It says nothing, literally, and yet living through its 68-minutes you emerge feeling much has been revealed. Its slowly evolving abstract landscapes are both edifying and life-affirming. The record works as a whole, and exists in a contemplative dream-state, unconstrained and mesmeric, seemingly outside time.
Played solely on acoustic instruments in Iceland (and featuring long-time string collaborators Amiina, as well as the Kopavogsdaetur choir) and then endlessly toyed with on solar-powered laptops in a raw food commune in some far corner of Hawaii, Riceboy Sleeps has a suitably "organic feel" to it; the wave-like lapping of its tidal flow buried beneath analogue hiss, crackle, pulse and distortion; the creaking of rigging and sometimes indeterminate falling delicately over; and on "Howl", ruminative animal chirrups, grunts, snorts and purrs.
Sometimes it feels like a record coming back at you across the seas of time, with ancient Washington Phillips-style tumbling musical figures and stumbling crescendos as slow as a sunrise, or a weightless mantra-like choir singing from somewhere in the Middle Ages down the centuries.
