Svefn-G-Englar was a 1999 single off of Icelandic musical band Sigur Rós's third album, Įgętis Byrjun, featuring two studio recordings — "Svefn-G-Englar" (Icelandic play on words "sleepwalkers" or "Sleep-G-Angels") and "Višrar Vel til Loftįrįsa" ("nice weather for an airstrike"), both from Įgętis Byrjun — and two songs recorded live at the Icelandic Opera House in Reykjavķk — "Nżja Lagiš" ("new song"), which has not yet been recorded in studio, and "Syndir Gušs" ("God's sins"), from the group's first LP, Von.
This single was originally released by Pias recording company in 1999 and distributed only in Iceland, but was reissued by Fat Cat Records in 2001 and distributed in the United Kingdom.
The single is available both on compact disc and 12 inch vinyl, with somewhat different selections of tracks.
