Riceboy Sleeps

The 2009 debut album, made at home and mixed in a Hawaiian hut.
Jónsi & Alex, 2009

An unmastered version leaked before release. A limited edition of 3,500 sets added the bonus CD All Animals, an art book and a colouring book. Sources disagree on where it was recorded: most say Iceland, PopMatters says a solar-powered commune in Hawaii, but KEXP and the official log say only the mixing was in Hawaii. AllMusic gave it four of five, The A.V. Club a B and Spin three of five.
