Átta

'Eight')[2] is the eighth studio album by Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós, released through Von Dur and BMG Rights Management on 16 June 2023.

After he left, the COVID-19 pandemic happened, and it took two years before Sveinsson met up with Jónsi in Los Angeles again, after which point Georg Hólm joined them "and it became more of an album".

[11] Robin Murray of Clash stated that Átta "pick[s] up where [Sigur Rós] left off, producing works [of] outstanding beauty – slow of pace, yet rich in feeling; deftly experimental yet also daringly melodic" and that it "presents something of an oasis of calm" with tracks "allowed to stretch out and recede".

He concluded that it is "at least the band's best album since 2005's monolithic Takk made them a household name, and at most a record that gives Sigur Rós plenty more reason to exist in adding some pure and natural soul to this cold and unfeeling world".

He added, "while the music is, as one might expect, beautiful, there are hints of torment and desolation that are hard to ignore" and found that the presence of an orchestra "helps their sound grow even more massive".

[16] Writing for AllMusic, Marcy Donelson concluded that "while not the project's most mind-bending or boundary-pushing album, it's their most stunningly gorgeous, and a successful, timely countermeasure to the symbolic cover art depicting a rainbow in flames.
