They are an Icelandic post-rock band with melodic, classical and minimalist elements. The band is known for its ethereal sound and lead singer Jónsi Birgisson's falsetto voice.
They use Vonlenska in several of their song, which is a term used to describe the gibberish sung by the band,[13] in particular Birgisson. It is also commonly known by the English translation of its name, Hopelandic. It takes its name from “Von”, a song on Sigur Rós’s debut album Von where it was first used. Vonlenska is not an actual language people speak in, as it lacks a consistent grammar structure, word meaning, or even distinct words. Instead, it consists of emotive syllables and phonemes; the band’s website describes it as “a form of gibberish vocals that fits to the music”. For a list of songs that use this, check out:

I’m Here Again
Inside You
It’s So Nice In Here
But I Can't Stay For Long
I Float Around In Liquid Hibernation
In A Hotel Nourishing On The Electricity Board
Tyoowoohoo
But The Wait Makes Me Uneasy – I Kick The Fragility Away
And Shout – I Have To Go - Help
Tyoowoohoo
I Explode Out And The Peace Is No More
Bathed In New Light
I Cry And Cry - Disconnected
An Unused Brain Put On Breasts
And Fed By Sleepwalkers
