eighteen seconds before sunrise consists of björn erlingur flóki björnsson, paul mcallister, darren webb and chris wray. the site was conceived by paul early in 2000 and is the official source of sigur rós news.

eighteen seconds before sunrise is entirely independent: the views presented here are our own. yet we have a strong relationship with band and record label that ensures uniquely privileged access to sigur rós and their work.

we hope this site meets your high expectations.
