Jónsi‘s new album is going full steam ahead!

Go, his first solo endeavor, will be released on April 5 across the world. Above is the album’s cover art which, according to the singer’s website e-mail, was conceptualized by his sisters Inga and Lilja. Aww.

At the same time, the Sigur Rós singer is preparing his first tour of North America. Judging by the e-mail, he’s going Gaga in terms of set design: “We wanted you to know we are going for broke on this and it ain’t in any way going to be Jónsi alone on stage with an acoustic guitar, no sirree.” Then again, everyone’s broke in Iceland.
