By Luke Larsen at 4:16 PM on November 7, 2011

The new Sigur Rós live album/documentary, Inni, has all sorts of goodies. But now, one of the exclusive tracks off the deluxe edition of the project has made its way to the web.

By John Barrett at 2:33 PM on September 9, 2011

Just a few days ago, Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós released a video for a song called "Klippa." Directed by Sarah Hopper, the cinematic video is eerie and bizarre, depicting three people silently cutting up articles of clothing (and jewelry and shoes) in a dark, cellar-like room for no clearly established reason, then dancing together in the shadowed corners of the room.  read more
