Don't expect it anytime in the near future in any case. The double EP and DVD release are definitely things to look forward to, however. The movie is absurdly beautiful and exceptionally well done and the EP is terrific. Acoustic Sigur Ros is wonderful (based on my live experience with it anyway) and the new songs, two of which can be heard in the movie (one in the trailer) are really great as well. Be excited about that and reserve your excitement for an actual LP for some months yet.

Hah, I wish. That would mean I would know them. I'm actually just a gratuitous fan-boy who was lucky enough to see the movie at its premier so I know it's worth picking up the extra stuff. And to prove it's not just me, here are some review snippets of the movie:
* q ***** “as moving as it is magical… sigur rós have re-invented the rock film“
* empire **** “so beautiful it’s hypnotic… one of the most beautiful audiovisual experiences of the year“
* total film ***** “heartfelt and moving“
* the guardian **** “i was utterly captivated by this documentary…“
* the times **** “delivers a sensual balm of music, space and place that is hypnotic.“
* time out **** “provides an atypically intense and enormously pleasurable experience.“
* los angeles times “more art-house movie than concert rockumentary.“
* the irish times “sigur rós are arguably the best band in the world today.“
See!

haha you don't have to sell it any further, I bought a copy right after typing that :) was meaning to for awhile, just didn't realise it was out!
how gutting is this: I was actually on holiday in Iceland and left the country a day before the first of the dates featured on the dvd. goddamn!

www.sigur-ros.co.uk for all the news you might need.
I'm terribly excited for all their new releases. I just wish they would premiere the movie in Chicago - there are plenty of fine movie theatres and art film houses that could be a venue.
