Released on Friday was the highly anticipated new live album and film from Iceland’s Sigur Ros, entitled Inni. We have the FULL album stream (first disc only) here for your listening pleasure. But go and pick yourself up a proper copy – it has two discs and a DVD with a concert film directed by Vincent Morisset. It beautifully captures the FINAL show the band performed before they went on an indefinite hiatus.
MORE ABOUT INNI:
Following a series of successful exclusive screenings in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Sigur Rós’ new album ‘Inni’ is now available in stores. The definitive Sigur Rós live experience, ‘Inni’ is comprised of a double live album and seventy-five minute film of the band’s last show before their well-documented “indefinite hiatus” at the end of 2008.
Watch the preview of ‘Inni’ here.
Described by Triple J’s Zan Rowe as “…beautifully shot in macro. Felt like a goodbye”, ‘Inni’ is Sigur Rós’ second live film following 2007’s hugely-celebrated tour documentary ‘Heima’. Recorded and shot over two nights at London’s Alexandra Palace at the close of the world tour around their fifth full length album, ‘Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust’, ‘Inni’ sees the band at the peak of their powers, captured on film for the first time as a core four-piece since they were joined by string section amiina at the start of the century. Directed by Vincent Morisset (Arcade Fire’s ‘Miroir Noir’), the film is debuted at this year’s Venice Film Festival.
The live album ‘Inni’ – a first for the band – is comprised of the full set from Alexandra Palace, played in order with just one omission, and clocks in at one-and-three-quarter hours. Recorded by Sigur Rós’ in-house studio engineer Birgir Jón Birgisson, ‘Inni’s live audio recording is far and away the best way of replicating the full-force effect of standing in front of one of the world’s most extraordinary bands for an evening.
