News about new Sigur Ros is coming!
I am so happy that they are back in the studio. I love Jonsi's solo stuff (one of the best live shows I have ever seen, almost topping Lights in the Sky), but I am really looking forward to new Sigur Ros. New album in the spring yay!
Thoughts on Inni? Works completely as the opposite of Heima. I only wish they would have cut about 95% of the unnecessary "behind the scenes" footage and just put in more performances. The end of Popplagid was amazing though. My surround was on full blast, and the moment that explosion of confetti came out, I got the more enormous wave of goosebumps.
Did anyone else get the Deluxe Edition box-set? I (think) I got a piece of Orri's jacket. Pretty neat. Might have it framed with the 4 prints.
I haven't even ordered my copy of the blu-ray edition yet. I will soon though. I'm not in a hurry to get it by Christmas or anything. I'm not sure if i want to order any of the new light-sensitive shirts with it. I liked the old design better than the new one.
But I don't think I can bring myself to order the Deluxe Edition with the way my finances are looking. :P Otherwise I'd jump on it.
I have listened to Inni, but I haven't watched it yet I'm sad to say. The album is pretty damn great though.
Festival!!!!!
Two tracks off of Jonsi's OST for Cameron Crowe's "We Bought A Zoo" are now streaming at www.jonsi.com
Did anyone get a chance to catch one of the "Go" shows?
Full OST of 'We Bought A Zoo' including over 30 min. of new Jonsi material now streaming here.
Hopefully they come to N. America
I'm sure they will. Jonsi seemed like he really enjoyed touring for Go, and I'm sure that, plus the new soundtrack, might even help build up the Sigur Ros fanbase for the next tour. I'll be seeing 'em for the first time if they do. I'd SO be willing to drive 3+ hours to see this band.
More dates announced, with more on the way.

Sweet jesus, I'll have a new Sigur Ros album out for my birthday. YES!!!
On first impression i think the song sounds very underwhelming
On my, oh I'd say 25th impression, I'd say it's fantastic.
At 2:27 there's a build up I really like, but then the melody just vanishes and never comes back to something I enjoy, which is disappointing. Looking at the track listing, with only 8 songs, one would imagine the songs are long, which is something that seems like a good sign.
very impressed. sounds like a sister to "Vaka" and the Hlemmur soundtrack. i hope it's all as understated and beautiful.
Fair enough, I just think it's like samskeyti where it'll tie in with the rest. No drumming, so Orri wouldn't have much to do but they still do the tracks like that live so no biggie there. I just dig the little nuances, the withering strings, the light backing vocals that start around 1:15. I'm a fanboy, I know.
So beautiful. It sounds, to me, like Takk's quieter moments mixed with the Riceboy Sleeps album. This album is going to be amazing.
It's pleasant but forgettable on the whole. I'll reserve judgement until the album is out.
Pre-orders are up for the Valtari double LP:
