Looking outward after last year's Heima/Hvarf-Heim homecoming, much of ...Endalaust was recorded with Flood (U2/Smashing Pumpkins/PJ Harvey) around the world, with sessions taking place not only in Reykjavik but also New York, London and Havana. Wondrous trojan-horse leadoff "Gobbledigook" jams its foot in the door forcefully, and three minutes of tribal acoustic glossolalia rushes in; the rest of the record might come off as one big comedown to those piqued by such immediate odd-pop heights, but the meat of Med Sud... could also be seen as the sort of slowburn narcosis they do best.
