A self-titled debut album appeared on their Kjól & Anderson imprint in conjunction with the screening of "Pleasure". The UK label 4AD Records signed the band in 1996, and released "Polydistortion" (97), "This Is Normal" (99) and "Gus Gus vs. T-World" (00).
"24/7" (09) was the first release with German label Kompakt, followed by "Arabian Horse" (11) and "Mexico" (14).
Several lineup changes have occurred, and their current incarnation consists of Stephan Stephensen (President Bongo), Birgir Þórarinsson (Biggi Veira), Daníel Ágúst Haraldsson and Högni Egilsson.
Gus Gus has had a varied lineup, including Magnús Jónsson (a.k.a. Blake), Sigurður Kjartansson (a.k.a. Siggi Kinski), Stefán Árni Þorgeirsson, Hafdís Huld Hákonardóttir, Emilíana Torrini Davíðsdóttir, Urður Hákonardóttir (a.k.a. Earth), Magnús Guðmundsson (a.k.a. Herb Legowitz a.k.a. Buckmaster DeLaCruz, The Fox, Fuckmaster, or Herr Legowitz) and Baldur Stefánsson.
After their third album, This Is Normal, the filmmaking arm of Gus Gus (Kjartansson and Árni Þorgeirsson) split off to form the production company Celebrator, now known as Arni & Kinski, which has produced award-winning advertisements and videos. A few former members such as Hafdís Huld, Blake, and Daníel Ágúst have gone solo, most notably though Emilíana Torrini.
Gus Gus's music is eclectic, and although primarily classified with techno, trip-hop and house music, they have experimented with numerous other styles. They have also remixed several famous artists, including Björk, Depeche Mode, Moloko, and Sigur Rós. Added to this they released the song Desire with Ian Brown in January 2004.

Attention
GusGus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Attention!
The lyrics "Attention! Attention!" in GusGus's song Attention serve as a catchy and repeated chorus that urges the listener to pay close attention. This could be interpreted in a few different ways, depending on the context; it could be seen as a warning, a plea for focus, or even a commentary on the modern culture of distraction and short attention spans. The fact that the phrase is repeated over and over throughout the song gives it a sense of urgency and importance, as if the message being communicated is crucial and can't be ignored.
The rest of the lyrics in the song are mostly abstract and open to interpretation, with lines like "I can see the signs / Don't wanna be hypnotized / But I can't look away" and "All my senses on high alert / I can feel the pressure rise / And it's all too much." These could be seen as describing an intense emotional state, a feeling of being overwhelmed by information or stimuli, or a struggle to stay focused in the midst of distractions. The song as a whole has a driving beat and a sense of urgency, which reinforces the idea of needing to pay close attention and stay focused.
