XL Recordings is pleased to announce that Sigur Rós will break their two-year silence to release their first-ever film on November 20, 2007 and a companion album two weeks before on November 6, 2007. Filmed over two weeks during the Summer of 2007 when the band undertook a free tour of Iceland, 'Heima' stands as a colossal labour of love - not to say grand folly - typical of this most exacting of bands.

'Heima' (icelandic for "at home" or "homeland"), truly, shows Sigur Rós as never before. Whereas seeing the group live is normally a large-scale and sometimes overwhelming experience, making full use of lights and mesmeric visuals, 'heima' was always intended to reveal more of what was actually going on on stage. It does this via long-held close-ups and a rare intimate proximity, without ever once breaking the spell. 'Heima' was directed by dean deblois, a long-time fan of the band and director of the oscar-nominated animated feature 'lilo & stitch', using an icelandic crew.

'Hvarf-Heim', the companion album, is more cousin than sister release. It has two titles because it is in effect two separate, but complementary, entities, with -- get this -- two front covers and a limited edition run of two discs.

@sketchbookessay Maybe they don't get out to the highlands much, but it's hard to be in Iceland and *not* be exposed to the natural landscapes. Even in Reykjavík you get those stunning cloudscapes, you have mountains and the ocean in plain view, that low-hanging sun with its neverending sunrises and sunsets, etc. And you go anywhere outside the city, and bam, you're essentially in the middle of beautiful nowhere.
