The current band members are Jón Þór "Jónsi" Birgisson (vocals, guitar, bowed guitar, keyboards, harmonica, banjo), Georg "Goggi" Hólm (bass guitar, glockenspiel), Kjartan "Kjarri" Sveinsson (keyboard, piano, organs, guitar, flute, tin whistle, oboe, banjo, vocals), and of Orri Páll Dýrason (drums, keyboards). The band is known first of all for its ethereal sound and for falcett vocal of the lead singer. International recognition came to the band with a release of their album Ágætis byrjun which can be translated as An all right start. The album was released in 1999 but the great critical acclaim was achieved only during the next two years. Critics called the album one of the best of that time.
