I don't want to be lazy, but Anthony from the Alternative Music Blog on About.com does as good a job as anyone introducing the new project from our singer, Jonsi, and Alex Somers: Amidst all the Americana, folksiness, and indie-rock moves of the almighty, compilation-for-a-generation Dark Was the Night, few songs seemed so radically 'other' as "Happiness," that eight-and-a-half-minute burbling ambient blow-out from Riceboy Sleeps.

I wanted to say something about the whys and wherefores of the special edition of the new album and how we arrived at what was going to be included within it, and how we got to a position where we could feel proud of it.
