Hypothetically speaking, if we here at Paste discovered a genie to that would grant us three wishes, we might wish for an endless supply of sticky notes (practical as we are), or enough copies of Thriller to share with the world at large (those that don't already own it, that is), not to mention the always popular “more wishes.” However, what would top our list, by far, would be if some popular video hosting website would feature one of our favorite Icelandic groups online for 24 hours straight. Done. Today, in an unprecedented takeover, YouTube will feature Sigur Rós in... read more
Found in: Music, NewsSigur Ros to release Heima DVD
Chronicling a series of free Sigur Ros shows in its native Hopelandia--er, Iceland--last summer gave way to Heima, a DVD and double CD set. The tour, which had been largely unannounced, was in support of Takk... and had concerts in fields, caves and deserted fish factories. Heima (Nov. 6) gives a long look at Sigur Ros' gorgeous country. If we lived here, we'd make up our own language to make otherworldly music, too. Watch the trailer, pull out those punctuation-friendly CDs and get a little insight into a band that's so surrounded by mystery. Related links: Sigur-Ros.co.uk Sigur Ros on... read more

"I sometimes get this strange and sort of uncontrollable urge to want to go home," says Sigur Ros bassist Georg Holm in the trailer for his band's upcoming film about a homecoming tour across Iceland.

Titled Heima (Icelandic for "at home"), it features the band playing gigs both grandiose and quaint, from national parks to community halls and finally, the largest concert Iceland has ever seen. Directed by Dean DeBois (Lilo & Stitch), it will be released on Nov. 5 alongside a two-part companion record titled Hvarf-Heim, with... read more
Found in: Music, NewsSigur Rós Gets Bookish With In A Frozen Sea
As summer comes creeping in (for half the world, anyway), Sigur Rós fans have a new opportunity to seek refuge from heat and humidity in the glacial world of Iceland’s most famous band. In A Frozen Sea: A Year with Sigur Rós chronicles the homecoming leg of the band’s 2006 tour in 32 pages of intimate photographs, quotes, and commentary from the band members themselves. Pairing the stunning visuals of the Icelandic landscape—from capital city Reykjavik to more rural settings featuring mountains, glaciers, and (hopefully!) fjords—with the band’s distinctly dreamy orchestral rock, the book seems likely to serve double duty... read more
