Yeah, that's what I heard too. And for those of us who don't speak Icelandic, it's ALL "made up." But seriously, I can't understand a word and don't feel the need to, I just like the emotion.

Sometimes I wish I had a go-to made up language for vocals that didn't sound hokey. Sigor Ros sounds great and I couldn't tell you what was "real" and what wasn't

Mum is another good example.
