Limited edition deluxe album and DVD release of ‘Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust’
Sigur
Rós round off their phenomenal year with the release of a new single, a
special edition of their recent Top 5 album including two stunning new
films and a 196 page hardbound book, plus a hugely anticipated UK tour
featuring their biggest solo headline shows to date in the UK. The
single ‘Við spilum endalaust’ is one of their most recent album’s
highlights and a moment of sheer joyful exuberance at their live shows
– witnessed in its full glory at their triumphant headline performance
at this year’s Latitude Festival, which was widely hailed as one of the
most astounding sets of the summer and has been nominated as Headline
Act of the Year in the UK Festival Awards. On the day of its release
Sigur Rós will proudly unveil two beautiful films directed by Nick
Abrahams that document much of the recording of their album and early
touring. The first film is a stunning, moving, hypnotic and
transcendent piece of cinema. Set to the band’s music and traversing
Iceland, London, America and Mexico – through ice and heat, hurricanes
and drama – it captures the essence of Sigur Rós as people, as a band
and as a unique musical force in both grandeur and humour; a genuine
work of art in all ways. The second film is a documentary about the
recording of the most ambitious piece of music Sigur Rós have ever
undertaken. ‘Ára bátur’ was recorded live at Abbey Road by the band
with a 69-piece orchestra and a 20-piece boys choir, conducted by
Icelandic maestro Daniel Bjarnasson. The film is a thoughtful and
engaging insight into the recording of a career highlight for the band
and will bring a lump to the throat of even the most hardened cynic.
These films will be screened at the Odeon Covent Garden on November
10th. They will then take part in a Q&A session with fans
afterwards – details for the event will be announced on the band’s
website - www.sigurros.com - along with a first chance to buy tickets. The
deluxe edition of the album ‘Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust’ will
be released on the 17th Nov. This special edition was previously
available solely on www.sigurros.com. It contains the album, a DVD
including both films mentioned above plus the banned video to the track
‘Gobbledigook’ (nominated for Video of the Year), a 196-page hardcover
cloth-bound book of photographs shot by Eva Vermandel and each special
edition will not only be individually numbered but include a unique
strip of 16mm film from the ‘Gobbledigook’ video shoot, specially
mounted within the front cover of the book..
