On the heels of their 2007 live release "Heima," Icelandic group Sigur Rós is preparing to release its next studio album, "Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust." The album, which translated into English from Icelandic means "With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly," is due June 24 via XL. Fans, however, will have several opportunities to hear the set even earlier.

Opening track "Gobbledigook" will be premiered tonight (May 27) on BBC Radio 1 and will be available for free download on the band's Web site this afternoon.

Customers who pre-order the album beginning June 2 can download it a week ahead of release; the Web site will be streaming the album beginning June 9.

"With a Buzz" was produced by the band and Flood. It marks the first Sigur Ros band has recorded an album outside of Iceland, as the combo rolled tape in New York, London, Havana and its own facilities in Reykjavik.

While the majority of the album features vocalist Jón Thor Birgisson singing in Icelandic, one song includes English lyrics for the first time. The London Oratory Boy's Choir, string quartet Amiina and a five-piece brass section also contribute.
