The Icelandic band, who have now returned from an ''indefinite hiatus'', will release the follow-up to 2008's 'Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust' on May 28.

The record contains a total of seven tracks, with the band yet to state whether they will be releasing any songs ahead of the album's full release.

Sigur Ros will play their first UK show for four years at this summer's Bestival in September. They are also booked for festivals in Canada, France, Japan and Ireland.

Bestival will take place from September 6–9 at Robin Hill Park on the Isle Of Wight. For more information about the event, see Bestival.net . New Order and Stevie Wonder will headline the festival.

Sigur Ros' last release was 'Inni', a concert film and live album, which came out in November. It documented the group's final two shows of their last world at London's Alexandra Palace.

The tracklisting for 'Valtari' is as follows:

'Ég Anda'
'Ekki Múkk'
'Varúð'
'Rembihnútur'
'Dauðalogn'
'Varðeldur'
'Valtari'
These bitches are like the Christina Aguilera of Iceland, releasing new albums every 4 years #icannotdeal, anyway, I couldn't be any more excited :D :D

so beautiful it almost got me all teary eyed

really like it that they're going for a more atmospheric/chill out sound, prefer this to the happy songs and drums and all from the last 2 albums... this looks to me like a return to the sound of ( ), which is one of the best albums in the history of music. Period. So anything resembling ( ) is good. ( ) pt 2 would be amazing!!!

( ) is perfection.

I do love takk and Með suð... pop sound, but I'm so glad they're going back to the ethereal/epic music that made them famous 8-)

I didn't know that the baby in the cover of "Von" was Jónsi's sister, it doesn't even look real :o

Ég Anda is breathtaking.

I feel sorry for them though, the album only comes out next month :-?
