Riceboy Sleeps is a collaboration between Jón Þór Birgisson (singer of post-rock band Sigur Rós) and his boyfriend Alex Somers (from Parachutes).
The music tends to be more ethereal and experimental than that of Sigur Rós and "played solely on acoustic instruments in Iceland and then endlessly toyed with on solar-powered laptops in a raw food commune in some far corner of Hawaii".
The first duo's album will feature only acoustic instrumental music and the collaboration of the string quartet Amiina (who are Sigur Rós' official string quartet), and the Kópavogsdætur Choir.
Alex said about the name of the project, "When I met Jonsi, I was really, really poor and I was just living off of rice mostly and I was sleeping too much so Jonsi was writing a song while I was asleep one day and he named it Riceboy Sleeps."
