According to Sigur Rós' official website, the Icelandic ambient pop band have recently wandered back into their mythical studio to record a follow-up of the full-length nature to their wonderfully ambiguous 2002 release, ( ). The album is expected to be released in spring 2005, to be followed by a tour of Europe, North America, and perhaps some other Sigur Rós-friendly parts of the world. Possible titles include any unpronounceable shapes that do not resemble a toilet seat.

It appears that the flaming lips are back into the studio. According to a post on their website, The Flaming Lips recently wrapped up a second studio session working on a follow-up to 2002's wildly popular (and pretty damn good) Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, and are planning on heading back soon to make good use of their unplanned downtime.
