Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (IPA: /mɛð sʏð i ˈeiːrʏm vɪð ˈspɪːlʏm ˈɛntaløyst/; English: With Buzzing in Our Ears We Play Endlessly) is the fifth full-length studio album by the Icelandic band Sigur Rós, released on June 23, 2008.[1]

It is the band's first album to feature a track sung in English ("All Alright"). The first track on the album, "Gobbledigook", premiered on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 music show in the UK on May 27, 2008, and is now available for free download from the band's official media website. "Festival" was premiered on Colin Murray's Radio 1 show on June 3, 2008.

In general, the music continues Sigur Rós' departure from their generally ethereal and minimalist music, being (as the title and cover suggest) more playful and fanciful than their early work, featuring more traditional guitar melodies, acoustic instrumentation, and folk-oriented compositions following in the vein of their later albums.

The album was available for pre-order from June 3 on the band's official media site, and on June 5, the band performed "Gobbledigook", "Inní mér syngur vitleysingur ", "Festival", "Fljótavík", "Við spilum endalaust" and "All Alright" live in Guadalajara, Mexico. On June 8, the full album streamed early on the Sigur Rós dót widget.[2][3] On June 19, pre-ordered albums began arriving in the mail, and on June 23, The Music Magazine awarded the album 'Album of the Week' for the week of release.
