Sigur Ros Album In British Newspapers

Sigur Ros will give away a CD titled We Play Endlessly in copies of U.K. newspaper The Independent on Saturday. But non-subscribing or non-British Sigur Ros completists shouldn't get too hung up on not being able to get a copy, as there's no new music on the record.

The Icelandic band, in association with Britain's Q Magazine, compiled nine songs from last year's Með Suð I Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust, 2007's Hvarf/Heim, 2005's Takk... and 2004's Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do EP for the promotional CD. The title is cheeky because Með Suð I Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust means "With A Buzz In Our Ears, We Play Endlessly" in English.

Ray Davies' Other People's Lives and Prince's Planet Earth have been inserted in British newspapers ahead of their retail on-sale date in the past few years. But Sigur Ros are following in the footsteps of David Bowie, who packaged previously released material for the iSelect: Bowie compilation that was included with copies of the U.K.'s The Mail On Sunday last year.

Here are the songs on We Play Endlessly:

"Hoppípolla"
"Inní Mér Syngur Vitleysingur"
"Saeglópur"
"Gobbledigook"
"Í Gær"
"Fljótavík"
"Hafsól"
"Heysátan"
"Ti Ki"
