Sigur Ros - Heima

Sigur Ros create music which can’t be described or categorized. Even worse, they sing in their own language. They come from Island but they don’t sing either in icelandic or in english. Instead they use their very own language “hopelandic”.

The first song I listend to was Staralfur. It was a very hot and difficult summer and this song made it bearable. Sigur Ros offer much of their content at their website so it worths the visit.

Recenlty, Sigur Ros announced their film, Heima. Heima means both “at home” and “homeland”. As they say, going back to their home is something they urge to do. They may be famous enough to play anywhere in the world, but playing at home is their real need.

Heima is a patchwork of shows they gave in Iceland. Instead of concert halls they chose to play in deserted fish factories, sylvan fields, darkened caves etc. Being among their friends and inhabitants, following the landscapes, fire and ice, they created a great film in a breathtaking atmosphere. I ‘d love to be there for once.
