In 2006 having toured the world over in support of their 'Takk' album, Sigur Rós returned home to play a series of free, unannounced concerts in Iceland. 'Heima' is a unique record of that tour filmed in over 15 locations across the island, taking in the biggest and smallest shows of their career
. Following the recent World Premiere in Reykjavik, Sigur Rós are currently on a 'whistle-stop world tour' of film festival screenings, occasionally accompanied by an intimate live acoustic performance from the band - check the list of confirmed screenings. 'Heima' received it's UK Premiere on Oc
tober 24 at Cecil Sharp House, North London as part of the BBC's Electric Proms. The band played a 45 minute acoustic set with Amiina which can be seen in its entirety here. This event is followed on November 5 by a further special screening and shorter acoustic performance at the BFI Southbank and
regional screenings. Following a successful screening at the New Yorker Festival on Sept 6, the film received its west coast premiere in Los Angeles with a series of screenings from Nov 1st through Nov 3rd including AFI Fest. 'Heima' is released as a two disc DVD set, with disc one featuring the 9
7 minute tour documentary / film, plus a bonus 'Producer's Commentary' by band manager John Best, whilst disc two includes almost two hours of full length live performances (with different edits to those used in the film) and further extras. There will be a special edition of 'Heima' available incl
uding a 116-page photo book in deluxe packaging. For more detailed information including production notes and a tracklisting for disc two, visit the official film homepage at www.heimafilm.com. HVARF-HEIM 'Hvarf-Heim', the companion record, has two titles because it is in effect two separate, but c
omplementary, entities, with two front covers (see below) and a limited run of two discs. Open it one way and it's 'Hvarf' ("disappeared" or "haven"), a five track electric studio record comprising mainly unreleased rarities from Sigur Rós's back-pages, none of which is on 'Heima'. Open it the othe
r way and it's 'Heim' ("home"), a six track live acoustic record, comprising delicate new unplugged versions of some of Sigur Rós's best moments, which have never been performed before.
