Yesterday I got the thumbs up to do a advanced screening of Sigur Rós upcoming film Heima. What better opportunity than to have the film close down the Muzzle of Bees showcase at Madison Pop Fest on Saturday, November 10th.

Heima will be released on November 20th, “as a special edition double DVD package with a 116-page book containing stunning photos from the tour. It will also be released as a standard 2-dvd set.” The film itself is “the culmination of more than a year spent promoting their hugely successful ‘Takk…’ album around the world, the Icelandic tour was free to all-comers and went largely unannounced. Playing in deserted fish factories, outsider art follies, far-flung community halls, sylvan fields, darkened caves and the hoofprint of Odin’s horse, Sleipnir”

So, after watching The Selfish Gene, Common Loon and Bon Iver you can sit back and relax as the beautiful Icelandic sights and sounds of Sigur Ros wash over you. The set times for the bands and film are being finalized and will be posted by the end of the week.

Until then, prepare yourself…
