Sigur Ros have reportedly abandoned all the material they recorded for a planned new album.

The Icelandic group wrote on their blog last year that the follow-up to 2008's Međ Suđ I Eyrum Viđ Spilum Endalaust was "near completion", however frontman Jonsi Birgisson has said they are going to "start it all again".

"We haven't got another album ready - It was just a rumour," he told SpinnerMusic.

"We started to record something, but then we chucked it all away. So I think we are going to have to start it all again."

The group, whose single 'Hoppípolla' was used in the BBC's natural history series Planet Earth, confirmed that they have no immediate plans to record new material.

"We are on a break at the moment. Everybody in the band is having babies," Birgisson said.

Birgisson releases his debut solo album Go on March 22.
