 Last
year, in the endless magic hour of the Icelandic summer, Sigur
Ros
played
a
series of concerts around their homeland. Combining both the
biggest and smallest shows of their career, the entire tour
was filmed, and now provides a unique insight into one of the
world’s shyest and least understood bands captured live in their
natural habitat.
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, the band reached an entirely new
spectrum of the Icelandic population; young and old, ardent
and merely quizzical, entirely by word-of-mouth.
Free
Admission.
