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.

GusGus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We have gone up and down over and over
Once again I have crossed, double-crossed over
I betrayed our trust, knocked it all over
Over, over, over, over
Didn't even try, try to make things right over
As we wonder why, why we didn't try, we didn't try this time (over)
We didn't even try, try to make things right (make me)
This time (over)
As we wonder why, why we didn't try, (make me) we didn't try this time (over)
We didn't even try, try to make things right (make me)
This time (over)
As we wonder why, why we didn't try, we didn't try this time
We didn't even try, try to make things right
(We didn't try) this time (over)
We're the wind, this will blow, it will blow over
Is the time, time to mend, over?
Maybe we can dive deep into ourselves, over
Find the smallest flame, restart the game, over
Over, over, make me over, make me over, over
As we wonder why, why we didn't try, we didn't try this time
We didn't even try, try to make things right
This time
As we wonder why, why we didn't try, we didn't try this time (over)
We didn't even try, try to make things right (make me)
This time (over)
As we wonder why, why we didn't try, (make me) we didn't try this time (over)
We didn't even try, try to make things right (make me)
This time (over)
We didn't try over, over, over, over, over
As we wonder why, why we didn't try, we didn't try this time
We didn't even try, try to make things right this time
The song "Over" by GusGus speaks about a relationship that has fallen apart due to mistakes made by both parties. The lyricist expresses regret about not making efforts to fix the relationship, wondering why they did not even try to make things right. The repetition of the word "over" highlights the finality of the situation and suggests that there may not be a chance to reconcile. However, towards the end of the song, there is a glimmer of hope as the lyricist suggests that they could restart the relationship by finding the smallest flame within themselves.
The lyrics of "Over" are relatable to many people who have gone through the end of a relationship. The line "we have made our mistakes over" acknowledges that both parties have contributed to the downfall, and the repetition of the word "over" emphasizes the finality of the situation. The lyricist's regret about not trying to fix things reflects the common belief that a relationship may have been saved if both parties had made more of an effort. The imagery of finding the smallest flame within oneself to restart the game suggests that even when things seem hopeless, there is always a chance to rebuild a relationship.

We have made our mistakes over
We have made mistakes multiple times in the past
We have gone up and down over and over
We have experienced ups and downs multiple times
Once again I have crossed, double-crossed over
I have acted against our trust again
I betrayed our trust, knocked it all over
I broke our trust and ruined everything
And I wonder why, why we didn't try this time
I am thinking about why we did not make an effort this time
Didn't even try, try to make things right over
We did not attempt to fix the situation this time
We're the wind, this will blow, it will blow over
This is a temporary problem that will pass
Is the time, time to mend, over?
Is it too late to fix things now?
Maybe we can dive deep into ourselves, over
Perhaps we can introspect and reflect on ourselves to fix things
Find the smallest flame, restart the game, over
Start anew and build from a small beginning
Over, over, make me over, make me over, over
Repeatedly push for a fresh start
We didn't try over, over, over, over, over
We did not give it a real effort multiple times
As we wonder why, why we didn't try, we didn't try this time
We are questioning why we did not make an effort again
We didn't even try, try to make things right this time
We did not make an attempt to fix the situation this time
