    Pitchfork:


    In late September, Los Angeles-based artist Meagan Boyd wrote in a post on Instagram that Sigur Rós drummer Orri Páll Dýrason sexually assaulted her. Specifically, Boyd accused Dýrason of engaging in non-consensual sex with her while she slept, during a night they spent together five and a half years ago. On October 1, days after Boyd’s initial post, Sigur Rós announced that Dýrason had left the band as a result of the allegation. In a statement on Facebook, Dýrason wrote, “I will do anything in my power to get myself out of this nightmare, but out of respect for those actually suffering from sexual violence, I will not take that fight public.”

    Pitchfork talked with both Boyd and Dýrason over the course of the past week.

    Ugh, disgusting. What an asshole. Hoping for the best for the woman involved and that she can move past it. I also hope he apologizes, but it doesn’t seem like he’s accepted that what he did was sexual assault. Gross. Kudos to her for being brave.
