We Are Scientists do Sigur Ros

OK, I thought Iggy Pop doing a jazz album was confusing enough…

Here’s We Are Scientists, the polite comedy duo of indie pop, doing Hoppipolla, the signature tear-jerker for all cinematic moments in life. Keith Murray sings in Icelandic and I wouldn’t have half a clue whether he gets it right, but it sounds pretty good, have to say.

Audio is taken from a live set they did on BBC radio. Visuals are the official Sigur Ros clip.
