While it feels like every band ever has been planning a new album for 2010, we now know Sigur Rós won’t be joining the rush. We were apparently painfully close to the follow up to 2008’s Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust but frontman Jonsi Birgisson claims the band “started to record something, but then we chucked it all away.” To make matters worse, Birgisson reports that the band is taking a break because “everybody in the band is having babies." Stupid babies have to ruin everything.

While there have been no announcements about whether we’ll hear anything new from the Iceland band this year, we do know Birgisson’s debut solo album, Go, is still set to drop March 22. You can hear a track from the record over at his website for the small price of an email address.
