on glide magazine’s hidden track blog, there is an interview with peter katis (who produced the ‘go’ album) – he talks about his involvement with the recording process of ‘go’

finally, peter touches on one his absolute favorites, the very recent release from jonsi birgisson of sigur ros. “i can’t believe how the new jonsi record came out. i knew it would be good, but wow. when i started, it was supposed to be sort of a modest record, an acoustic record, and it ended up being a powerhouse. although it sounds like a largely acoustic record, it’s distorted to hell, and not just the acoustic guitar, but the percussion is super distorted and the orchestral overdubs are really over-driven. it’s gone past the point of a hot preamp or compression; it’s actually over-driven. it just sounds kind of exciting. that sort of ran away on itself. it certainly became a rock record, but it’s sonically really intense, and really cool. i’m really excited about it.”
