Woosh! Been a while again.Not only for us, but also for Sigur Rós. After 2 years of semi-silence they are back! The Icelandic band is now finishing their upcoming record 'Hvarf-Heim' but are first releasing their movie 'Heima'. 'Heima' (which means homeland) follows the band while touring in Iceland for 2 weeks in the summer of 2007 and gives us beautiful imagery that fits perfect with the band's music. A trailer for this movie can be seen below.
Aight, back to tha musica; Sigur Rós are planning to release their new album (actually a double album) later this autumn and have put a new song on their MySpace. The song is called Hljomalind (wtf?) and it has a more poppy feel than past releases. As far as I know they never had a song with a verse-chorus-verse kind of structure in it, so I'm guessing they are also aiming for a little bit more radio air-time. Anyways: I like I like!
Sigur Rós - Hljomalind
Oh, and while we're at it, another tip: Check out Caribou's (formarly known as Manitoba) new album 'Andorra'. It's pretty Beatlesque and psychedelic, which works out quite nice.
Caribou - Desiree
Caribou - Melody Day (Four Tet Remix)
