Sigur Rós sound-a-likes: homage or fromage?

The IPKat confesses, in at least one of his incarnations, to being a big fan of the Icelandic group Sigur Rós, and keeps up to date from time to time with what they are doing via their website "eighteen seconds before sunrise".  A recent article on the website amused and intrigued him.  If you are also a fan of the group, you might find the music accompanying the advertisements in the videos below strangely familiar. The IPKat will leave his readers to reach their own conclusions, and would be interested to see what they think.

  1. Apparently Justin Bieber also sounds just like Sigur Ros (when slowed down 800%). See:

  2. Maybe the number of approaches they have from advertisers is telling them something. Perhaps their music is a little too bland?

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
